The Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Environmental Protection Agency are funding Annie Leonard’s project called Loop Scoops. The cartoon is geared to 6 to 9 year-olds, and indoctrinates them to promote anti-capitalist values.
And we get to pay for it (as usual)….






When you think about who this nonsense is being sold to, you realize how scary this can be. Our children ARE the ones who will be inheriting this country one day.
I’m all for clean environment, being careful with our resources, using biodegradable substances, etc. However, I worry about where this is coming from. Annie Leonard has shown in the past that she is incapable of being objective or even logical. How likely is it that she’ll be able to get the facts right while making propaganda for children?
At least no children were exploded, or hung from a noose, in the making of this propaganda. That’s progressive, I suppose. I think we are overreacting. Despite the long record of progressive policy failures, we should offer them the benefit of the doubt, and proceed with involuntary exploitation and totalitarianism. They are our superiors and they obviously have a consensus of some kind.
As for Leonard, an advocacy business is far more profitable, and less burdensome, then actually providing solutions for risks which have long been known, and private enterprises are already working to mitigate. I suppose the latter would be considered conservative, since it is not promoted by people who self-describe as “progressive”. As conservatives work to ensure the future of humanity, the rebels with a cause and without a clue, are doing their best to earn a living through the involuntary exploitation of their fellow citizens. Now that’s progressive.
Attn Republicans: one of your first orders of business is to YANK PBS FUNDING. If their programming is so “worth watching” as they are always bragging, they shouldn’t have any trouble at all finding sponsors who can fund them just fine, not to mention all the merchandising money they get from Barney toys, Sesame Street, Muppets, etc. and other monies they receive from various sources.
