While the show did not change its logo to rainbow colors like many other entities have, it did post several tweets pushing the left-wing celebration onto its tiny fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pushing \u201cPride Month\u201d on Tiny Tots<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSesame Street\u201d is aimed at children aged 2 to 5, an age where sexual activities should not even be part of a discussion. However, the show posted a video featuring actress Ariana DeBose, who identifies as \u201cqueer,\u201d explaining the show\u2019s \u201cpride\u201d celebration. Elmo added, \u201cFrom our \u2018Sesame Street\u2019 family to yours, happy pride.

However, in recent years, the show has been accused of pushing a radical agenda on kids.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the show introduced the concept of &#8220;racial literacy&#8221; to young viewers, which was just an excuse to push the far left&#8217;s intrinsically racist ideals of Critical Race Theory on kids who had only just learned to walk and talk. The show also introduced a gay couple for a &#8220;family day&#8221; episode, and welcomed cross-dressing actor Billy Porter to the show wearing his Oscars tuxedo dress.<\/p>\n<p>That same year, the show pushed the far left&#8217;s &#8220;anti-racist&#8221; agenda with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iconic-childrens-show-shoving-pride-month-down-kids-throats-happy-pride-elmo-loves-you\/\" title=\"Kids' show promoting 'Pride Month': 'Elmo loves you, Happy Pride!'\">half-hour special teaching kids<\/a> how to be &#8220;anti-racist.&#8221; The special defined &#8220;racism&#8221; for young audiences and urged children to call out others who they suspect of being racist.<\/p>\n<p>Parents, it&#8217;s important to keep a close watch on what your kids are watching. Sadly, every one of these shows that are supposed to be for kids perpetrates battles in the culture war, siding with the left to push a radical agenda on kids too small to even know they are being propagandized.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; has a wholesome reputation, but it hasn&#8217;t lived up to that level for a long time. Parents beware.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let your kids be indoctrinated by leftist propaganda. Stay vigilant and protect your children from harmful ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/iconic-childrens-show-shoving-pride-month-kids-throats-happy-pride-elmo-loves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSesame Street\u201d show celebrated \u201cpride month\u201d with several tweets on Thursday.
