Nickelodeon, the cable TV channel aimed at children, ran a segment lecturing kids about “environmental racism.” The topic that sounds more appropriate for adults than a network that is home to “SpongeBob SquarePants” seemed out of place for the cartoon-heavy channel for many. Online commentators and parents condemned the segment as “propaganda” designed to “indoctrinate our kids.”
For Earth Day, Nickelodeon aired a one-hour special titled: “Nick News: Kids and the Impact of Climate Change,” hosted by CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas and has an appearance by President Joe Biden’s special envoy on climate, John Kerry. Nickelodeon’s official Twitter account, which has nearly 4 million followers, posted a clip from the news special with the caption: “learn the meaning of environmental racism.”
Hahaha turned off the comments. WTH did they think would happen. Children TV network trying to teach children? Stop it CBS. WRONG EFFORT
