They still have them in my area, only, it's not usually during the PBS Kids hours. it's usually either at night, on weekends or they cut into the kids programing by showing some boring video about managing finances or concerts with women singing Celtic music and than asking for money.
But I mean outcry against things like this were dwindling during the years Obama was in Office - heck, outcry over the supposed lesbian couple in FINDING DORY was miniscule compared to this, and again, this is virtually similar in every way to pre-Obama outcry over Dumbledore being outed resulting in parents and religious groups burning Harry Potter books.
Here's my personal opinion. I hope this post makes sense:
Prejudices don't just come and go like a bad cold, they stay like a disease. And sure, some people get cured over time, but some people reject the cure and they pass the disease down to their kids. Yes, things have undoubtedly gotten better over time, but when things start to get better, that's arguably the worse situation to be in, because, at least when things are obviously bad we can fight it, but when what we were fighting for starts to become the norm, it becomes harder to see the prejudices because they become more subtle; often times it's because the prejudice person is afraid to admit that they have that problem. Or it's because, they're afraid they're ideals are being pushed aside. But when the prejudice people have something to latch onto, like a group of people who agree with their ideals, they begin to feel more empowered, so they start getting louder, people wonder where these people came from, but the fact is they were always there. It's like how, in the 60s, We made great progress with the Civil Rights movement, but it got pushed aside because of other major events of that decade such as JFK's assassination and the Vietnam War. And than, because we stopped talking about racial issues, and because people of color gained their rights by law, many people thought that racism was over, so they stopped talking about it, for the most part. So they didn't continue to deal with the deeply ingrained ideals that had been around since slavery (and earlier), so it never went away. And then, those riots in the 90s happened, and then those police shootings. And people were shocked! They thought racism was dealt with, and now there it was, just as bad as it was 50 years ago. How could this have happened? Well, it came from ideals and feelings that had been bottled up for generations and never dealt with, none of it is new. In fact, people rarely paid much attention to people in the LGBT community getting killed and discriminated against until fairly recently. It was always there, people (and I think news outlets are partially to blame) just weren't paying attention to it.
DISCLAIMER: This is all my opinion. If any of you want to disagree, please do so in a civil manner. Also, when I mention police shootings, i'm not necessarily saying one way or the other if I think the police involved were racist or not, I'm just referring to certain other people's reaction to the details of the shootings.
