Sesame: Indoctrinating Kids Early on the Role of Females in Society



I didn't see this myself, apparently it was on a segment of Bill O'Reilly last night.

Singer Katy Perry recently appeared on Sesame Street. That's a show that is supposed to teach pre-schoolers how to read.

She was wearing a top that showed just about as much of her breasts that are legal to show on TV.

I wonder what Katy Perry was thinking. I also wonder what the people at Sesame Street were thinking.

But what does it tell little kids? For girls, that girls must show off their assets so that boys will like them. For boys, that girls breasts are fair game to be gazed upon, commented on, obsessed over.

This indoctrination starts very young...but having it start as young as Sesame Street?

('m reminded of an ep of PeeWee's Playhouse from decades ago. Grace Jones appeared on that,singing in her wonderful voice, Little Drummer Boy. But her outfit? Would have had grown men drooling. Inappropriate for a kid's show!
