Oh, Alabama. Tsk, tsk. You already provoked the attention of Perpetual Outrage, Inc. by trying to make your state safe for the unborn. But your willingness to allow parents to raise the kids they do have without the guidance of federally funded gay propaganda is really too much. This disdain for progressive pieties will not stand.
Alabama Public Television took a pass on broadcasting an episode of PBS's kids cartoon Arthur, because it focused (super-approvingly, of course) on a gay wedding. The BBC reports that "APT Programming director Mike McKenzie said broadcasting it would break parents' trust in the network."
This McKenzie - obviously a hate-riddled reactionary - explained "'parents trust that their children can watch APT without their supervision,' and that children 'younger than the 'target' audience' might watch without parental knowledge."
And trust is at the heart of the matter. If hicks in Alabama and Georgia insist on carrying their brats to term, how can they be trusted to raise them? They might drag them to church on Sundays. Fare like Arthur is supposed to counterbalance the ignorance.
The lefty Twitter mob is predictably enraged - they pay good money for PBS (we all do, whether he have the tote bag or not) and they expect it to penetrate the trailer parks of the deep South. ...
The trailer parks of the Deep South contain far more common sense than the entire eastern and western coastlines.
