With PBS funding cut, the next generation will be raised by ‘Skibidi Toilet'

Gen X and millennial parents grew up on the gentle rhythms of 'Sesame Street' and 'Between the Lions.' But sweeping cuts to public broadcasting could leave their children facing a starkly different entertainment landscape. A Republican-backed package that slashes billions from the federal budget including funding for NPR and PBS passed through the Senate this week, putting a slate of beloved PBS Kids shows in jeopardy, the network says. Democratic politicians took to social media to condemn the cuts, some citing the role PBS programming has historically played for kids and families. Some Republicans, meanwhile, alleged that PBS censors conservative views while promoting progressive politics.
