This action is important because it's about something that -if we don't stop it- will change the way we see the world for the worse, not better. TV shows like Sesame Street used to be about education, learning, and acceptance of others. Now it's been changed to a bunch of garbage that doesn't teach us anything except the stuff that we usually DONT want kids to learn. Read my petition, and you'll see how important this is for all of us.

The corporate network system has ruined a once-wonderful TV show - called Sesame Street - that used to teach young kids how to read (myself included). Even more importantly though, it taught that you should accept everyone for who they are - whether they're thought to be gay (Bert and Ernie) see things only they can see (Big bird and the Snuffleupagus) or are homeless (Oscar the grouch living in a trash can). The message was true, good, and to the point, and it was a really important thing for kids to learn at that age.

However, the corporations in charge of the TV network have changed all that. Now, Bert and Ernie are separated, EVERYONE can see Big Bird's Snuffleupagus, and Oscar now lives in an apartment with his girlfriend instead of living homeless!

These actions PROVE that the TV networks are corrupted. They want kids of the next generation (and maybe even generations after that) to grow up believing that anyone different or with problems should be condemned for who they are instead of being accepted by everyone.

I myself am on the Autistic Spectrum, and I know how it feels to be expected to conform. However, I refuse to conform to a world that won't accept anything that makes me who I am.

I propose that we should work together to bring the old Sesame Street back as much as is possible at this point. They may have changed the show, but we can make them change it back. Put Oscar back in the trash can! Bring Bert and Ernie together again! make the Snuffleupagus invisible to everyone except big bird once more! And finally - change the song back! They've changed it from folksy to hip-hop, even though that song was a symbol of acceptance of everyone!

So my point is, please sign this petition. Don't let the TV corporations get away with turning one of the greatest educational shows there ever was into another pile of brain-melting (and even worse - brain CHANGING) garbage.
