Nick Jr called witches 'bad'
As most of you on PS know I work with kids. Tuesdays are heavy days with extra children visiting teachers and workers picking up thiers assingments. On Tuesdays the children are in the playroom watching tv, playing with various toys, waiting for thier teacher or therapist and hanging up coats.
As usualy Dora was wafting through the house. UNTIL.......'the bad witch captured someone and put them in a cage.. They couldn't be freed of course until the bad witch promised never to be bad again."
Yeah I put everything on hold. Told my daughter to find me a contact number and turned it into a freedom of spech, freedom of religion consumerism project. NickJr. was contacted and put on speaker. As I was explaining the problem to the person on the phone one of the children pipped up and yelled Tia's not bad You are! hehe he.
The call was completly disregaurded. The woman thought that it was shameful that I would call in with such a complaint about a show that was doing so much for , get this, INTEGRATION!!!!
Making a long story short the daycare has voted and we are officially blocking Nick Jr. from our TV.
It's a small thing. It made me feel better.
Rant over. Rational thought beginning to resume. What do you folks think? Shouldn't Nick put up a real show about our community? Wizards of Waverly place IMO just isn't cutting it.

It'd be nice if they did, but I assume it depends on the CEO of the company and his/her religious view, plus their consideration of their market share--are their viewers predominantly Xtian? Unfortunately it's all about business.

Power to you! As a mother of a small child, I am very glad you posted this. My little girl will not be watching this show. What they did was blatantly disrespectful, and if they had said such a thing about any other religious belief system they'd be sued. I applaud your efforts, and the way that you present true integration to the young ones in your charge.
Blessed be!
