"They were my friends, they were my teachers, they were my entertainment and they were safe." [View all]

It was --and still is the 'quiet time' in our house---even the puppy was quiet and watching--over the years.
They learned good things without knowing they were learning.



As a GenX, one thing that was always important to our generation growing up was PBS.

Sesame Street taught me how to count to 10. Big Bird taught me the alphabet.

The Electric Company taught me right, wrong, and Spider-Man.

But Mr Rogers, a fellow Pittsburgher, taught me how to be me. Daniel, Lady Elaine, King Friday, and Henrietta were always there.

They were my friends, they were my teachers, they were my entertainment and they were safe.

But now, the felon administration and the Republican Party have taken that learning, that safety, away from children everywhere so that billionaires can have a tax cut that they don’t need.

But children DO need PBS.
