Sesame Street (pbs) In General Is Such An Important Part Of Television.

sesame street (pbs) in general is such an important part of television.

my mom was very low income growing up, like barely could afford to put food on the table, her single mom worked three jobs, and they didn’t have a television. but her friend did and every time my grandmother dropped my mom off at her friends for babysitting, they watched sesame street. it taught my mom the alphabet, how to communicate with others, the importance of friendship, how to be accepting of everyone (gay, black, asian, etc).

and my mom made it her mission to allow sesame street to be there when both me and my siblings grew up. my mom was thankfully able to get a college degree and become a nurse. and the one thing she always told me that helped was the pbs.

pbs (sesame street) has been there for lower income families when government and politicians haven’t. and the fact that politicians want to ban this important part of tv is very telling
