I was quoting from a Forbes article, as I mentioned.
“Recently, Sesame Street hosted a town hall with CNN to help explain the concept of systemic racism to young children, using a dialogue between Elmo and his father to contextualize the Black Lives Matter movement, and accompanying social unrest. During the town hall, Elmo’s father explained to his son:
“Not all streets are like Sesame Street. On Sesame Street, we all love and respect one another. Across the country, people of color, especially in the black community, are being treated unfairly because of how they look, their culture, race and who they are … What we are seeing is people saying, ‘Enough is enough.’ They want to end racism.”
Not a bad message, I agree. But says that across the country, people of color are being treated unfairly because of the way they look. So, are riots, destroying, pillaging, and looting – possibly in a child’s own neighborhood, perpetuated by people wanting to end racism – the explanation for riots you want children to receive?
