      Arkansas ranks 45 out of 51 states in education.

      So, let’s say the kid gets up at 6am. PBS listings:

      • 6:00 – Pinkalicious and Peterriffic: Gingerbread House; Christmas Tree Trouble: “Pinkalicious” and Peter build a gingerbread house that attracts Sarafina, a holiday fairy
      • 6:30 – Curious George: George Digs Worms; Everything Old Is New Again: George’s entry into the world of worm racing faces a giant hurdle when Mr Quint picks up the wrong lunch box; George learns about recycling, and sets out to recycle everything he possibly can.
      • 7:00 – Sesame Street: Elmo’s Morning Routine: Elmo and Abby help Crystal the Ball invent a morning routine.
      • 7:30 – Milo: Milo the Decorator: Otto is needed elsewhere, so Milo and pals set to work painting Dame Delores’s ballroom.
      • 8:00 – Work it Out Wombats: Zadie’s Horrible Haircut; Zadie’s Horrible Haircut; A Day Out With Babby: SUPER anxious about going to the barber, Zadie decides to cut her own hair. To fix this disaster, Zadie needs to face her fear of getting a haircut. When it comes to playdates, Malik discovers that smart devices have their limitations.

      Golly such offensive content. The kids might actually learn something on Sesame Street!

          You’d think that Fox News would at least be trying to take advantage of this by rolling out something like “Fox News Jr.” with angry propaganda for 8 year-olds. But, I guess they’re just happy to see kids forced to watch any for-profit TV channel.

      I guess PBS hasn’t been working then. Maybe it’s their anti-science ideology in favor of capitalism, genocide, etc.

        This is how I know you are in this thread talking out of your ass and overly generalizing PBS; NOVA has existed since 1974, has 52 seasons, and over 1,000 episodes, yet somehow PBS is anti-science. Are there people who work and produce things in PBS that are as you say? Probably, would be extremely unlikely there would not be a single person who isn’t. Is PBS completely anti-science? No. Rather than linking to the Civil Religion wikipedia and saying not much else and blaming people for not seeing it, perhaps it would benefit your argument to bring actual evidence to show that PBS as an entity is what you say.
