Does this mean Wild Kratts is cancelled or not?

It's a shame, a channel whose purpose is to educate kids and give them entertainment that instills good values will be missed, to be replaced by AI-driven brainrot for toddlers.
In an ideal world, parents would still seek out old PBS Kids stuff for their kids to watch, but we all know most parents will shove their kids in front of an iPad while they go do something else.

>>149450929
it's fine
we still have schoo--

>>149449518 (OP)
It isn’t dead yet just a10% budget cut. They’ll make due. But in the off chance they keep coming after PBS we need to preserve what we can and save it for future generations. If you can instill a love of learning and a devotion to being kind in just one child. It’ll all have been worth it.

>Cut school funding
Honestly very little federal school funding actually goes to the schools, it mostly just funds a bureaucratic nightmare middle manager administration and in some cases can actively make the whole system worse like the No Child Left Behind bullshit.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5408014-rural-stations-vulnerable-to-cpb-cuts/

> Walt Gregg manages KUHB in St. Paul, Alaska, located on a small island in the Bering Sea, and KCUK in Chevak, Alaska. He said the stations will be forced to close by next summer if the CPB is shut down.

> In 2023, CPB funding accounted for nearly 97 percent of KUHB’s revenue, making it one of the most vulnerable in the country, according to analysis by Alex Curley, a former product manager for NPR who has been collecting data on public media stations on his Stubstack.

PBS may be dead in many rural locations though. The government funds PBS broadcasting in many rural locations. This remote station in Alaska most likely will shut down because of a lack of government funding. The station won't survive when 97% of their funding is suddenly cut.

>>149451841
The funding is for things like IEP funding and SPED specialists so you child won’t have to have a 60 student class where 40% of the classmates are special ed.

I don't think kids watch TV anymore at all. Most don't even watch shows on streaming sites either, they just watch Youtube.

PBS had so many fucking BANGERS over it's lifespan and it's no policy of never rrleasing full series dvds of anything besides Sesame Street and on a special occasion, Reading Rainbow, makes it somewhat unfortunate that they were the ones who got their hands on or created these shows: Zoobilee Zoo (thankfully available and downloadable via youtube), 3-2-1 Contact, Owl TV, Square One, The Electric Company, The Letter People, Reading Rainbow, The Puzzle Place, Long Ago & Far Away, Wishbone, Clifford The Big Red Dog, Clifford's Puppy Days, Arthur, Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, Between the Lions, Dragon Tales, Redwall, Anne of Green Gables, Martha Speaks (and they really screwed the pooch on THAT one, selling merch and not cutting the IP owner in on it, leading to the show getting cancelled and lord knows how many eps un-aired)

>>149452250
PBS was made for poor kids to have access to at least some baseline of education.

>>149452583
A lot of PBS shows taught about moral virtues too. A lot of Arthur episodes are about good morals and friendship.

I do think it is within the interests of the US government to have TV that encourages good morals. When kids get to choose their own entertainment through YouTube, they wind up watching people like Logan Paul and Andrew Tate who really don't have the best moral virtues.

>>149452583
PBS-fag again. I've watched a pretty decent amount of PBS Kids content, and so much of it is empty calories. These shows lean heavily on surface level explorations of topics that you could get just by cultural osmosis. Wild Krats is probably the best when it comes to the minutea of ecosystems and the animals in them, but then you have Let's Go Luna teaching kids that they eat spaghetti in Italy (wow no shit!) and Mecha Builders saying "Hey, did you know you can use SCIENCE stuff to solve problems in post-industrial society!? DON'T YOU WANT TO GET AN ENGINEERING DEGREE WHEN YOU GROW UP NOW!? THERE! WE PROMOTED STEM! CHECK THE BOX!"

That's not even going into the recent glut of fucking shows about little brown children milling around a brown neighborhood doing nothing remotely productive, much like the Wayneheads of yesteryear. Seriously, you should hear the creators of these shows huffing their own farts about how amazing it is to finally seem some ethnic representation in children's cartoons...and they're the third new animated show in a row to have literally the same premise.

>>149452740
No one saying they didn't half a bunch of empty ass shows, we remember them for all the really good content they had that vastly outnumbers the crap shows. You're putting some "glass quarter-empty" shit just to be a dick. No network is perfect.

>>149452740
>but then you have Let's Go Luna teaching kids that they eat spaghetti in Italy (wow no shit!)

Anon I don’t think toddlers would know that automatically. There are a bunch of adults who don’t know most “American” foods weren’t actually created in America.

>>149452789
They did have great shows. HAD. Most of them don't even air anymore, often because CPB did something to piss off the IP holders.

>>Millennials claim that PBS is important, but they can only name shows we haven't aired for 30 fucking years and NONE of them contribute
Dude ALL of the media spiraling over PBS has either focused on shows that havent aired in decades (Mr. Rogers, The Joy of Painting, Reading Rainbow) or shows that are huge media juggernauts outside of PBS and already air in other places (Sesame Street). It is VERY telling that nobody can tell you what PBS or NPR are contributing to America in 2025
>>Because of shitlib cancer, we air endless bullshit about blacks and gays that get less than 100 viewers MAYBE
This shit thoroughly infects NPR too. They keep going on about how it's media that serves America when all the special interest stories usually boil down to
>have you heard about passover? we're going to have 10 passover stories this week. easter? never heard of it
>this week is the world championships of lesbian field hockey in glasgow. we'll go over why you should be watching this sport, but we'll never cover the NFL or NBA

He means they'd rather talk about Eureka's Castle than whatever the hell PBS is doing now.

I'm sure when it's /mu/ I'd also rather discuss Metallica than, like, Kendrick Lamar or something.

All you heartless motherfuckers never watched Adventures from the Book of Virtues and it shows.

>>149453051

Ok you need to go back to /pol/ and take your meds already.

>>149451841
That's true but, like everything, the conservative solution is to just dismantle it. They're cutting off their arm to get rid of a hangnail

>>149452250
Little kids, like actual toddlers mainly watch Mrs. Rachel and sesame street. I assume 6-10 just watch youtube/streaming crap, and teens just go onto social media and do faggy shit there. Say what you want about zoomers, they never lived in an era where AI crap and complete reliance on technology was starting to become the norm

>>149451754

>Millennials claim that PBS is important, but they can only name shows we haven't aired for 30 fucking years

What about Sesame Street? (or did you not count that because Netflix) and can you tell how much revenue Sesame Street makes?

>>149451841

There's nothing in the Constitution empowering Federal funding of public schools and I'm very sure that didn't become a thing until sometime after WW2.

The management of of interstate highways is also not in the constitution. Just because it does not have a direct constitutional tie does not mean it cant be funded for the greater good of the country.

that falls under national defense

>>149451754
>Millennials claim that PBS is important, but they can only name shows we haven't aired for 30 fucking years
I would get made fun of for the audacity of actually liking something, but I still watch their documentaries every year. Frontline, Independent Lens, and the new Ken Burns stuff. Some of the most disturbing and unforgettable war films I've ever seen.
I'm not familiar with the /co/ stuff on the channel since I'm no longer in that age bracket, but I see pedo generals for like three of their currently airing cartoons, so they're being discussed somewhere.
>and NONE of them contribute
You got me there.

How is this about the internet


Trump thinks stuff like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers is woke so he's been trying to get rid of PBS Kids let alone public media for kids

Maybe save your misinfo for the next Q-anon meeting

>>149453510
The American education system never did any of these.

>>149453713
Mr. Rogers wasn't woke. The show's message was just "don't be a dick to people". There was an episode where he literally says only two genders exist.

>>149453713
Sesame Street made fun of Trump. Mr Roger was the only comfy show that didn't make fun of celebrities. Trump never had a beef against Mr Roger.

>>149453834
You are assuming that anyone here has taken time to watch the things they are celebrating the dismantling of.

>>149453881
Imma need a reputable source for your claim

>>149451078
It went woke in the 2010s then turned into a Marxist propaganda outlet after the BLM Floyd riots. Completely infiltrated & run by leftists. Not the same station it was in the 80s & 90s. Let it go & let it die already. Only preserve the nonwoke programs.

>>149453149
They think that PBS should run like Nick and Disney channel where they air garbage shit for retarded kids made by grown adults who use being a showrunner as a vector to have high budgeted fetish content then cancel the shows after 2-3 seasons. (With possibility of using them as tax write offs)

>>149453907
Here's my source:
It was shit the moment they had a faggot psuedo-marriage on Arthur

>>149453313
Who cares? When the constitution was written the people who wrote it were raping people that they legally owned and young as 14

I’m sorry for whatever happened to you and while I disagree with you I still think the world’s a better place with you in it.

I haven't paid attention to PBS outside of Sesame Street, Arthur the odd times they had a foreign series playing, and the times when they had a historical documentary on, so I'm not sure what's being lost with the cuts, but sucks to suck for those backwater rurals I guess.

At least they'll have YouTube Kids or whatever it is nowadays.
>>149453834
>The show's message was just "don't be a dick to people"
Seems to have gone through one ear and out the other since being a fuckwad out to ruin someone's day on principle is practically a religion for a large chunk of the population.

>>149454055
Arthur was one. Sesame Street was another. Almost all their shows went woke for thise DEI tax writeoffs. They literally had an ad of Groover spreading his legs in a sex position. They aldo were inserting tranny shit too. One of the characters started crossdressing & calling himself a "woman"

Northanger Abbey was the last show on PBS that wasn't woke trash.

>>149454015
We're also going to return to that after we repeal faggot marriage and the civil rights act.

>>149454097
This isn't the 90s anymore, gramps. PBS died a long time ago. Now it's time to bury its corpse. Let it go already.

>>149454135
>ad of Groover spreading his legs in a sex position
Lmao wut?

>>149454062
The Simpsons also made fun of him 20 years ago. Thus is nothing new.

Name one, just one, positive thing PBS has done for kids, because it sure as fuck isn't teaching anyone anything valuable that would stick with them, if the current state of the country is anything to go by.

Lazy parents want the televisions babysitting their kids instead of babysitting themselves. Thats why lobbied stupid shit like Childrens Television Act which ultimately killed cartoons.

Lazy parents deserve to be physically beating for raising children on the Internet or the telmundvisions.

>>149454187
Parents raise children, not media, something lost on a lot of shitty parents nowadays. My parents watched Sesame Street with me so they could bolster the lessons covered in the show with some additional activities or answering any other questions I may have had that could have gone over my head, you know, like an actual fucking parent should.

It's also too bad that a lot of parents nowadays are also soup-brained retards that can't even verify the sources for the slop they consume to see if they're true or not, so all they're doing is just filling the heads of their children with garbage even if they do engage with them.

There's an episode of Cyberchase where Hacker declares any three lines can form a triangle and the kids have to use vectors to prove it's untrue.

Still technically PBS which does fulfill my requirements.

Now, is there anyone who can give me a good reason why they shouldn't be completely shut down for making the shitty Walking With Dinosaurs reboot?

PBS Kids and Nick Jr. lost it when they started putting CGI in shows it made everything soulless and ugly.

It was the 250th U.S. Army birthday and yes, soldiers typically dont like being in parades. I had one buddy I talked to that went while on leave and he told me that everyone was basically whatever about it. I think the thing that everyone forgot is that when the military does parades, they tend to be festive and celebratory, not super rigid and goose stepping like China or something.

Well it is just that, an opinion. But based on my time in the service and the talk I had with my friend, I would believe that the soldiers at the parade were pretty neutral about being at the parade.

the fact that you think that infographic is evidence in your favor is strong evidence against your statement. there are so few independent studies on comparison, so i won't say homeschooling is definitely worse in all ways, but all the pro-homeschooling sources are of the same nature as pro-abstinence, anti-meat, that sort of thing. there's no real research done, any evidence to the contrary is hidden, and the name of their game is to just push out as much bad info as possible, knowing that they'll gain reach via appeal to emotion under the veneer of legitimate science.

As obnoxious as NPR can be, the news programs still stir deep memories of heading to school. It's comfy to still hear some of the same voices.

This retard doesn't realize it yet, and maybe they never will, but that teacher taught them more about the real world and how it works than any other class ever did or could.

My 7th grade science teacher taught us about radio waves and how harmful they could be to living tissue and showed us studies about how people who lived close to high frequency TV antennas had higher rates of cancer. He was supposed to just be teaching us about basic level biology but his schizo lessons on radio waves have proven themselves to be very enlightening now in the age of 5G. It's ultimately good that he decided to go off script and actually teach us something useful.

I listen to NPR often when I drive, and I can tell you: It's women talking to other women about stupid bullshit no one cares about; workplace stories, tales of [BRAND]s, arguing about whether women's rights should be a thing in muslim countries, etc. It's all pap, it's all yap, it's all crap. I heard recently that only 10% of listeners really contribute to public radio. It doesn't take a 12-Level Intellect to know why.

Although I dislike that comic too, I wouldn't label it as "porn". It seems rather dishonest. If anything, Gender Queer is pretentious, retarded, sexist, and outright homophobic. It's just another shitty autobiographical graphic novel written by some Californian who ate too much avocado toast.

Yeah, they fucked up HARD. There was an intro where Elmo was wishing his "LGBTQ brothers and sisters" a Happy Pride Month. Wtf. Current Sesame Street is aimed at toddlers - 9 year olds. People in that age group *have* no sexuality because they aren't having SEX!! Pride literally has NOTHING to do with them!!

>>149459433
now show us a program pbs actually runs in 2025 so we can compare

what did elmo expect would happen after posting all this?
for real tho, why does a character aimed at 3 year olds have a twitter account? you have to be an adult to post on twitter, none of elmo's fans should be on there

>>149459433
That's a fucking. As PBS went on, they started sliding LGBTQ bullshit into it's shows. Of the shows there, none of them had any of that crap except Arthur and Sesame Street, both of which ran long enough to be aired during the LGBT television acceptance/celebration mandate era, and PBS then added it to those shows.

You...DO know there were 2 Carmen Sandiego shows at the time, right? PBS had a kids' gameshow-esque live action geographical trivia show titled Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego, with acapella group Rockapella providing the music and closing theme.

Nice projection. They did read to me, we had plenty of books growing up, but I also loved watching PBS, which is what you can't wrap your head around. PBS didn't appeal to just kids from low income background with parents who were too busy to interact with them.

Since the adoption of the Department of Education the US government has spent more and more money on education and still continues to plummet in education rankings. When you gonna realize that throwing money at the issue isn't the solution?

Don't be a fucking semantic faggot. You said you didn't need PBS and when I pointed that out you immediately deflected by acting like you said the opposite. There's being disingenuous and then there's being a total retard that fucked up an insult and then tried to turn around and act like he wasn't a fuck up. You're argument was never that neglected kids needed PBS you specifically said the opposite quote >>149460870
>PBS didn't appeal to just kids from low income background with parents who were too busy to interact with them.

For the same reason left wingers can't keep a job in the private sector.

>>149460990
Throwing money blindly at an issue never solves anything, but neither does cutting funding blindly. You need to do the shit almost nobody wants to do: Spend a lot of time and effort actually going through and looking in detail at what's getting spent on what, what's having an appreciable impact, what's not, etc. and make sure that the good shit is getting adequately funded and the shit that's not helping gets cut.

But that takes time, and effort, and money, and it's fucking boring and tedious, and nobody in administrative positions ever wants to actually do that because it's easier to just yell SPEND! SPEND! SPEND! or CUT! CUT! CUT! and leave the rest of us to deal with the consequences a year or two or ten down the line.

>>149461096
You claimed, "PBS was essentially unnecessary" and I highlighted the part of my comment, acknowledging that PBS still appeals to kids who might not have parents who read to them or books at home like I did. Now you're upset with me because you can't parse together a simple sentence because I called you, rightfully so, an idiot for now having to hold your hand like this.

>>149461147
Wow, it's almost like local municipalities should have more power in their education as they have more understanding of what their demographics need in education. Like maybe having the federal government oversee everything and throw money at the problem is an issue and local governments can take up the charge.

>I changed my argument completely

Also PBS isn't necessary for kids with neglectful parents because a fucking TV is never going to supplement child rearing and the fact kids without involved parents fail regardless of public spending proves this.

>>149459508
What are the odds that happened just days before PBS got canned?

>>149461198
There's no way you're crashing out this badly, because someone sees the benefits to easily accessible educational kids media.

The government should fund a new station with taxes levvied exclusively on democrats with high quality animation that teaches about the superiority of Whites, and the evils of marxism and homosexuality.

>>149461172
Local municipalities DO have enormous power over how K-12 education is handled: DOEd can set policy and promote curriculum changes and offer grants to promote initiatives, but there's surprisingly little they do or even can do that affects the day-to-day of expectations for faculty or course content or school programs. The point of having a federal program is that the opportunities are there when a municipality wants or needs them.

Education is a complicated issue, just like everything else in politics, and like every other complicated issue everyone tries to boil it down to a simple JUST GIVE X MORE MONEY or JUST GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF X or JUST BAN X FROM DOING Y. There are no quick fixes to managing any issue in politics and anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

>>149461453

homeschool kids actually severely underperform, and on top of that have extreme difficulty in society due to never needing to interact or learn how to navigate through unexpected social situations.
