Alabama Public Television refuses to air "Arthur" episode with gay wedding

[MAGA MAN]

Season 22 of "Arthur" kicked off with a special wedding episode that had people across the country talking. However kids in Alabama did not see the May 13 episode, in which Arthur's teacher, Mr. Ratburn marries his partner. That's because it was never aired.

Alabama Public Television (APT) chose not to air the episode, entitled "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone," according to AL.com. Instead, "Arthur" fans in the state saw a rerun episode.

The decision was made back in April, when the local PBS station was notified about the content of the episode, Mike Mckenzie, director of programming at APT, told AL.com.

That's the very definition of selective outrage.

Irony considering the OP.

How so? I've consistently been against using public funds for broadcasting.

I meant Alabama being outraged about gay marriage in a cartoon.

And I'm pretty sure PBS is less of a drain on the federal budget than Alabama.

Funny, looks like the decision to nix the show was done by a bureaucrat. But don't let let stop you from impugning an entire state.

PBS is a far left arm of the Democrat party.

They even fired Juan Williams, a far left loon who dared to say that he would be nervous getting on a plane with a bearded Muslim. PBS even questioned Juan’s sanity.

Of course Bill O’Reilly hired old Juan for 1 million dollars per year.

Do you honestly think I seriously wanted Alabama thrown out of the union over not showing a cartoon? You can't be that stupid.

Children don’t need to find out from cartoons about the other kind of “slippery slope”. Whoever is promoting this kind of moral rot to little children should be tried and imprisoned ASAP! then, throw the key away

If "PBS is the left arm of the Democrat Party," what is FOX, with their crew of Friends, Carson, Laura, Hannity and the other dozen or so demogogues who dominate their broadcasting?

I don't know, and care less.
