Sesame Street, the long-standing children's educational program, has recently addressed the issue of racial inequality in the United States. In a scene from the show, which is funded by taxpayer dollars, the character Elmo is informed that 'across this country, people of color, especially the black community, are being treated unfairly.' This message is part of the program's efforts to discuss and educate about social issues. The scene has sparked reactions regarding the content being shown to children, with comparisons being drawn to what Palestinian children watch on their television programs.
