Right on for PBS. I grew up watching PBS, and hope that I continue that tradition with family. They need support.

ok… Why, WHY would we get rid of something so award winning? there are so many other things out there that deserve our attention that should get shut down (cough Tom Leykis anyone? cough)
i didnt know we as a country were against education, investigative journalism, arousing cultural awareness, or enriching and enhancing children’s imagination and education (sesame street anyone?)
if we are (we being the legislative people behind shutting down such an informative and enriching channel (for kids [and grownups alike]) so against giving children a chance to thrive and succeed, why No Child Left Behind? shouldnt we just get rid of that too? while we’re at it, lets just close every school we dont think will turn out the next Stephen Hawking/Albert Einstein/Hillary Clinton etc.
this is so backwards to me…
