"Sesame Street" to teach kids about when Mommy

[mad cow]

Goes To Prison.

New Knowledge for a New America.


It’s brought to you by the letter P — for prison.

PBS’s “Sesame Street” is moving from ABCs and counting numbers to offering its young viewers a bigger lesson in life: how to cope when Mommy or Daddy lands behind bars.

Called “Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration,” the program is distributing “tool kits’’ to schools, community centers and even jails in 10 states — including New York — starting today to help kids ages 3 to 8, organizers said.

According to one “tip’’ for caregivers, “Before you visit your incarcerated loved one, let your child know some of the things she can expect to happen. For instance, ‘We won’t be able to sit in the same room with Mommy, but we can see her through a window and read a story together.’ ’’

“Phone calls are a great way to reach out,’’ another offers. “Help your child to think of something she’d like to tell her incarcerated parent, and give her a photo of her parent to hold during the call.”

A police state is a small price to pay for living in the freest country on earth.

You are relevant.

Hope they get to work on the next batch:

"Why did the police officers shoot Mommy?"

You eventually do it to me every time.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Anti Federalist again.

But you left out the best part:


Reps for “Sesame Street’’ — which receives funding from the federal budget and private sponsors — did not return requests for comment on whether any taxpayer money is being spent on the initiative.

Hopefully it goes this way:

Kermit: Hey kids, I want to tell you about the pigs. No, not Miss Piggy, the pigs in blue who sometimes bust down your door, shoot your dog and beat up your parents. They might try to use a 'tazer' on you too, if you're not already on fire from the flash-bang they threw into your bed or shot you dead with their assault rifle. Whenever one of these pigs comes near you, you should start yelling "STRANGER, STRANGER!" .....

"Little Children, Big Challenges: TSA Checkpoints"

Kermit: Hey kids, let's talk about flying on an aeroplane. Aeroplanes go wayyyy up in the sky and take you to places you haven't been to before. But before you get on an aeroplane, you're going to have to go through something called a "security checkpoint". This is where the fat, smelly man who last week was delivering pizzas to your parent's front door, or twirling a sign on the corner while dressed up as the Statue of Liberty will put his hands down your pants. This is called a "sexual assault" and when it happens, you should pee your pants and start screaming "STRANGER! STRANGER!", then find a group of people and tell them that bad man touched your pee-pee....
