Sesame Street Begins Teaching Math and Science
An anonymous reader sends in this excerpt from ABC News:
"This season of 'Sesame Street,' which premiered today, has added a few new things to its usual mix of song, dance and educational lessons. In its 42nd season, the preschool educational series is tackling math, science, technology, and engineering — all problem areas for America's students — in hopes of helping kids measure up. ... This season, 'Sesame Street' will include age-appropriate experimentation — even the orange monster Murray will conduct science experiments in a recurring feature."
Conservatives and independents of all stripes are cheering this news. We never cared about public funding for NPR because we knew Sesame Street could get by just fine without federal support or meddling.
As for the story, teaching kids to question things for themselves spells the end of the liberal state. For then you start asking just where your money goes, as just one example, or why when just as you learned on Sesame Street that real scientists share data, and AGW "scientists" only share data with pals of like minds...
No, A controlling state does not like inquisitive minds.
It seems like a lot of Slashdot liberals could stand to start watching Sesame Street again, you could learn all kinds of things.
P.S. Not sure why they are saying Sesame Street is starting to teach math, it has always taught math.
