Republicans vs. PBS: Round 1
Republicans vs. PBS: Round 1
People act like this a joke or republicans being stupid.
But it has a real effect
We form in-group/out group when very very young.
And while innperson contact is better, simply seeing other races on TV is enough to see a benefit.
Mississippi banned Sesame Street, and that made kids in Mississippi who set there in group/out group bias stricter along racial lines than if they had Sesame Street.
The people yelling about this stuff often don't understand why they're yelling.
But the people cutting the checks and driving the narrative believe in science and use it to their advantage.
It's not a choice between evil and stupid. They're both.
All people have a moral duty to seek knowledge and wisdom
Wow, Mississippi. You managed to surprise me. With such low expectations, that’s really saying a lot. Way to go.
Don't throw out challenges to Arkansas and Louisiana so casually.
It was especially dumb and ironic considering that Jim Henson was from the state and Kermit the Frog was canonically born there.

Just a minor point of clarification, Mississippi was still in the process of flipping from a Democratic stronghold to a Republican one in 1970. The southern strategy hadn’t taken full hold at that point.
