Katie’s Dad 2.0

I hate Dora the Explorer. It feels good to say it. To me, there isn’t much offered up as “children’s programming” these days that is more pathetic and politically correct than this godforsaken little brat. Her brother Diego is just as bad.

Of course, this will upset a lot of people who have succumbed to the multicult, so I think I need to make a couple of things clear. First, I recognize that it’s important that Katie become multilingual, and I’ll do everything I can to facilitate that. I have no quarrel with whatever languages she learns, so long as they are presented for entirely practical, not cultural, considerations.

That said, I do believe it’s important for her to learn about other cultures, but I’ll be damned if I’ll let a bunch of liberal multiculturalist diversophiles be the deciders of just how she learns about the world. American parents who allow PBS and Hollywood types to indoctrinate their children about about other cultures before they are old enough and experienced enough to have developed incontrovertible attachments to American exceptionalism are abdicating their responsibility as stewards of American heritage.

When threads of multiculturalism and diversity are so subtly embedded within the very fabric of the show, as they are in both Dora and Diego, it isn’t educational at all: it’s indoctrinational. Thanks to our perseverance, Katie has never seen more than the first few minutes of any episode of this rotten show and she now shows no interest in it. I guess we got her past the age that the producers targeted for getting kids hooked on their little indoctrinating tool of a show.

While it’s just one little point of success in our efforts to keep her from being mis-acculturated by the purveyors of the intellectual pornography that is political correctness, it is a nice victory.

As an alternative to Dora, I’m pleased to offer my readers this:
