Is it me, or should children's television networks stay out of politics? I get that there needs to be a dialogue about immigration reform but why should I have to see it where I go to get my fix of SpongeBob?
I get it... I can already hear some of the responses: "change the channel..., free speech..., why SpongeBob?.., regulate what your kids watch..., etc."
Weigh in and let me know if I am off my rocker for being bothered by what I feel is "spoon feeding" the debate by way of our children...
ROE: this is NOT an invitation to debate Dem v. Rep!

I don't have children, so I have no idea what the children's networks are doing. I remember being shocked at the price tag on bringing so many illegals to the U.S. Especially when they are cutting to military raise to 1% and adding higher fees to Tricare (or at least trying to with the budget).

Thank you CPT Sarah Persinger! That certainly seems that it would be an unintended consequence of all of this. I am also glad to know that common sense can tell a person this doesn't smell right, even if they do not have children!

Just weighing in. I do not need to turn on a tv show for my daughter and have to worry about political spamming. Do I want her to be educated on the topics at hand of course when she's mature enough. But I think it should come from valid sources and not children's networks

Thanks SSG (Join to see)! It is good to hear that common sense parenting is alive and well with your family! It keeps me hopeful! Sounds like your daughter is in good hands!

I agree with you, LT Clint Davis. Children's TV should stay out of politics. This could easily be a case of "starting 'em young." Let the indoctrination begin. Then, when the kids grow up, they'll have a political agenda imprinted on their psyche.
