Holy hell.

I'm wandering around LiveJournal looking for bookish icons so that I can ask the creators to crosspost to book_icons and thus expand our repetoire. Not that we need new posters so much, but. (Incidentally, if you can think of any authors with large fan bases whom I may have missed, please tell me)

And that's how I found this. The person who started that thread shouldn't've picked the fight, but.... *stares*

I never really believed that people got upset over Sesame Street teaching Spanish. Shows what I know, huh?

We're just a bunch of damn Commies, apparently. God forbid we teach our kids to share!

Just... so many points at which my jaw dropped, man. So many.

In Canada, Sesame Street (or, actually Sesame Park now; when I was growing up it was Sesame Street) teaches French words and phrases. Of course, that could be different because Canada actually is a bilingual country. But pretending that lesbian couples and Spanish-speaking people don't exist is not going to stop them from existing.
