So I keep seeing Mr. Rogers coming up today and I had to look up why people were talking about him, just to find out that some "journalists" are claiming that he "raised a generation of pussies" so follow me on this trip.
Mr. Rogers made a show that dealt with real life problems, no cartoons and no jokes. In the 60s during a time of REAL racial tension, he shared a pool with a black man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpm1AS9VkSM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
He stood in front of a congress ready to pull funding for the PBS, and effectively end children& #39;s programming. His testimony saved that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKy7ljRr0AA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
And here& #39;s the big one. After 9/11 PBS asked him to shoot a short clip telling people how they can help their children with what& #39;s going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZbXM3Kzd7o">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
This man has been there to teach people that your emotions, especially anger, are ok to have but it& #39;s how you respond and act on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9E-I7yBwIc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
