Ep 752 | YouTube Kids, Disney+ Go All In On Queer & Critical Theory | Guest: Aldo Buttazzoni
Today we're joined by Aldo Buttazzoni of PragerU to discuss his recent exposé on YouTube Kids content and the new controversial Disney+ "Proud Family" show. In this report, posted via Twitter, Aldo reveals what disgusting content is not only made available, but advertised to kids upon first creating an account. One account, called "Queer Kid Stuff," breaks down the infinite sexualities in the LGBTQ+ group and details what each letter means. We also discuss Aldo's trip to the Los Angeles Zoo Drag Night, which was marketed to kids as young as 2. Then, we take a look at Disney+'s new show, "The Proud Family," where in one episode titled "Juneteenth," the characters proclaim that slaves built America, Abraham Lincoln didn't actually free slaves, and that black people are deserving of reparations and demand to be paid. Why is more and more of this content creeping into kids' programming? We also look at what's going on in Florida with Governor DeSantis' pushback on critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and why this is a very good thing.
