I totally support public broadcasting of all stripes, and do not advocate for this POV at all, but ... there are people who claim the opposite. Sesame Street is 'full woke', apparently, because it has talked about skin color and race with muppets.
What many people consider normal... is 'full woke agenda' to others.

- tzs 1y agoSesame Street used the term "rusty trombone" in a song by Oscar the Grouch about the wonderful things you can find in trash, written and performed 30 years before there is any documented use of the term "rusty trombone" to refer to a sex position.

- nobody9999 1y ago>The term goes back to the 1970s or the late 1960s, and was invented by the puppeteers on Sesame Street. It's documented. Where, exactly, is this "documented?" Perhaps my Google(well, DDG, actually)-Fu is deficient as I was unable to find any links to "analingus with a reach around" associated with Sesame Street. The only broadcast media references I could find were radio and movies references from the 2000-2010 period. As such, please do let me know where to find this documentation. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
