Michelle Malkin thinks that showing kids that it's okay to march to the beat of a different drummer, that empowering children and showing them that they can make a difference in the world is liberal, commie indoctrination. Especially if this devil indoctrination comes from Nickelodeon.
Then again, Michelle Malkin also thinks that anyone who doesn't chin-up and open wide for the Bush-Cheney teabag is a traitor to America. She has trouble accepting that bloggers have power, let alone children. You see, bloggers and children and Americans should know their place.
Sweatshops, torture by America, absurd standardized tests, circus animal cruelty, and the tragedy of displaced children in Iraq are the highlights of the video in the above Nickelodeon link. And kids are making a difference. This is not something to rail against but to be inspired by. I have an 11 year old daughter and am far more worried about her watching piss-poor sitcoms than watching something that might get her interested in the world around her, something that might allow her to see beyond herself and get out in the world to change it for the better.
If Michelle and her cadre of goons doesn't like Nickelodeon or kids effecting change to stop suffering in the world then they can pay attention to what their kids are watching for once and change the fucking channel. Pop some popcorn, put in a copy of Jesus Camp, and revel in the indoctrination and brainwashing you condone.
