"Sesame Street" drew fire on social media Sunday for celebrating pride month, the latest firestorm related to allegations that the publicly funded PBS children's program is pushing LGBT ideology on children.

"On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy #PrideMonth!" the show's official X account posted on Sunday to mark the first day of LGBT pride month.

The post also featured multi-colored puppet arms clasping in solidarity to resemble the rainbow.

Oh, is it time to start clutching pearls over Sesame Street again? Seems like that pops up every 10 years or so.

They've always been "woke" in one way or another and, IME, still do a better job of teaching kids to be good people than the vast majority of other childrens' programming, including stuff from "Christian" outlets.

Additionally, the Right's use of the label "groomers" has always been deliberately, nakedly disingenuous, but in case anyone thought it was sincere, what ought to drive it home is the fact that "Libs of TikTok" included "covid vaccines" and "blm protests" as examples of grooming.
