Once upon a time, Sesame Street was the gentle hum of a sunny day, where Big Bird helped kids spell “apple” and Oscar’s biggest sin was being grouchy. But somewhere between Bert and Ernie’s friendship bracelets and Michelle Obama’s kale evangelism, the street corner got bulldozed and rebuilt into a glitter-soaked gender studies classroom.

What started as wholesome programming for preschoolers has mutated into a full-blown ideological costume party, where “inclusion” means confusing toddlers and “diversity” means every puppet must pledge allegiance to the rainbow altar. The descent wasn’t sudden—it was a slow-boil, frog-in-the-pot moral rot.

And now, in 2025, the beloved children’s show is waving the pride flag high and wide, because apparently even Muppets need a sexual identity.

You saw the tweet—rainbow arms locked in forced solidarity, each hue representing a new level of indoctrination. “On our street, everyone is welcome,” they chant with all the sincerity of a hostage reading a ransom note.

But everyone? Really? Funny how that “everyone” excludes parents with actual moral convictions, Christians who believe in objective truth, or anyone unwilling to parrot the alphabet soup of modern sexuality. And let’s not pretend this is just some feel-good message of kindness. This is tactical and is strategic. This is grown adults in puppet suits using taxpayer-funded nostalgia to normalize confusion.

Why else would a show targeted at three-year-olds need to preach about pride, pronouns, and rainbow power-fists? Why is Big Bird marching in ideological lockstep like a feathered foot soldier for the Ministry of Wokeness?

So next time you see Big Bird, just think of him as a giant middle finger to common decency. Elmo’s not teaching your kids to count—he’s teaching them to comply. Cookie Monster isn’t bingeing snacks anymore—he’s bingeing on virtue signals. This isn’t the Sesame Street you grew up with. It’s a psychological funhouse where puppets preach politics and innocence is the sacrificial lamb.

The message is loud, the costumes are bright, and the damage is deliberate. What used to be a quiet corner of educational television has been hijacked by activists with sock puppets and scripts from GLAAD. And if you think this is still about learning your ABCs, then you haven’t been paying attention.
