PBS is being 'dragged down' by drag queens in Oklahoma...

This is the book that was the beginning
of the station's end...  


DailyMail.com - Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt blocked the funding for the state's PBS station through to 2026 with the move, listing several shows on OETA that it finds 'objectionable'. Shows on the network include 'Sesame Street,' 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,' and 'Clifford The Big Red Dog.' The network will cease operations this year unless  legislature overrides the veto. 
The governor's office claim that a segment of 'Let's Learn' was objectionable, with a children's book titled 'The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish' being read by Lil Miss Hot Mess. He also criticized a Newshour feature that included parents' support for gender-affirming treatments - including puberty blockers. There was also a gay character in 'Wok It Out Wombats', which airs on OETA, as well as Clifford the Big red Dog introducing LGBTQ characters.

    Good for the Oklahomans. Next block state funding to stations that just rebroadcast NPR's feed. Our overdue national divorce is beginning.

    Us Okies are proud to have a Gov that will not put up with the craziness from the she/it/thing/whatevertheyare crowd.
