With TV being a large part of our lives, why cut the funds for programs that will teach?
One and a half million people have asked Congress to oppose this move [against the Public Broadcasting System]; under pressure Congress restored some funding for this year but House Republicans just voted to eliminate all funding in two years.
These cuts start by terminating support for commercial-free children”s shows like Sesame Street, Clifford, and Maya & Miguel all shows that children learn from. What happened to No Child Left Behind? Oh yes, we just teach to test, not to learn.
