Sure, it is completely innocent. Sit down and enjoy the pretty colors.

"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it bilingual, we will provide a translation. If we wish to make it gender-neutral, we will blur distinctions between the sexes. We will control the politics. We will control your notion of a traditional family. We can change the focus to environmentalism, or sharpen it to blaming republicans. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches your childs inner mind to... Dora The Explorer."

"Do you know why my father left me ?"

Hyperbole.

There's nothing wrong with American children learning Spanish or Spanish speaking children learning English by watching Dora. Stop being so afraid. It's pathetic.

I don't think anyone expressed fear---It's being aware and observant. You don't want us all to be "sheep" do you?

Thanks, DUCK

You expressed my thoughts perfectly !

Learning about other cultures is necessary and valuable.
Learning other languages is a good thing.

Education is a great thing. Re-education is very frightening
