          No, it’s really just the shit hole confederate states that take more in federal funding than they provide in taxes, and also have the worst education/literacy rates, and highest poverty rates.

      Arkansas ranks 45 out of 51 states in education.

      So, let’s say the kid gets up at 6am. PBS listings:

      • 6:00 – Pinkalicious and Peterriffic: Gingerbread House; Christmas Tree Trouble: “Pinkalicious” and Peter build a gingerbread house that attracts Sarafina, a holiday fairy
      • 6:30 – Curious George: George Digs Worms; Everything Old Is New Again: George’s entry into the world of worm racing faces a giant hurdle when Mr Quint picks up the wrong lunch box; George learns about recycling, and sets out to recycle everything he possibly can.
      • 7:00 – Sesame Street: Elmo’s Morning Routine: Elmo and Abby help Crystal the Ball invent a morning routine.
      • 7:30 – Milo: Milo the Decorator: Otto is needed elsewhere, so Milo and pals set to work painting Dame Delores’s ballroom.
      • 8:00 – Work it Out Wombats: Zadie’s Horrible Haircut; Zadie’s Horrible Haircut; A Day Out With Babby: SUPER anxious about going to the barber, Zadie decides to cut her own hair. To fix this disaster, Zadie needs to face her fear of getting a haircut. When it comes to playdates, Malik discovers that smart devices have their limitations.

      Golly such offensive content. The kids might actually learn something on Sesame Street!

          You’d think that Fox News would at least be trying to take advantage of this by rolling out something like “Fox News Jr.” with angry propaganda for 8 year-olds. But, I guess they’re just happy to see kids forced to watch any for-profit TV channel.
