After spending recent seasons alienating parents across America with homosexual and BLM propaganda, PBS Kids’ Arthur, the longest running animated children’s series ever on television, is officially getting the ax.
Public broadcaster PBS announced, on January 18, that the remaining four episodes from the series would be made available for viewing next month. How did PBS Kids manage to ruin an iconic cartoon beloved by generations?
The series first announced that Arthur’s teacher Mr. Ratburn was gay and premiered an episode featuring a gay marriage.
NewsBusters stated at that time that the creators felt the need to make the reveal like a grand unveiling, but it ultimately felt insidious and not celebratory. As Arthur and his friends stare in disbelief, the homosexual newcomer gives them a cheeky wink which seems to say, ‘Get used to it, kids.’”
As if confusing prepubescent kids about sexuality wasn’t enough “wokeness” for the show, it then premiered a short BLM-themed segment in the summer of 2020 which attempted to teach kids how to be “anti-racist” (i.e. Marxist). Arthur, his friend Buster discussed a clip in which a police officer killed a black man. Buster asked, “But how could it happen here, in Elwood City, outside the Sugar Bowl?” Elwood City is populated by animals.
Gosh, I wonder why this established show with high name recognition had middling ratings as of late? Series co-creator Kathy Waugh expressed disappointment to People Magazine about the cancellation.
“I don’t know if there was a ratings issue, or if it felt like it should be retired,” she stated.
Yes, Ms. Waugh. Some television networks have to still worry about ratings. PBS is not a streaming service like Netflix. It cannot throw garbage on the screen without anyone knowing viewer numbers.
Arthur was originally announced to be cancelled last July, but there was no clear date as to when the show would officially end other than that it would happen in 2022. It will air the final four episodes in February as part of its 25th anniversary marathon. After that, parents who want to teach their kids about gay and anti-racist anthropomorphized animals, will have to seek out such content online.
PBS will continue to provide this service. ArthurTheir website has podcasts, digital shorts, and games. Although it’s a bit sad that your favorite cartoon character is now a podcast, the creators knew exactly what was coming.
Perhaps PBS Kids can learn from it and stop promoting woke programming for children, but I doubt that. Marxists cannot help pushing their agenda on kids.
