Last month, several projects for the formation of children were canceled or canceled after a single subsidy for public television had been left away.
“The damage that the removal of PBS will lead to communities in which children live … public radio and public television stations provide free, credible news and not only that, but also educational programs and content. Programs such as ‘Sesame Street’-the K-12 policy for American politics, the American guidelines for K-12 guidelines for K-12 politics for the K-12 policy for American politics for American politics for the K-12 Directive for the American Politics for American Politics for American Directive.
“I think it is worrying that we have – there is a possibility that educational programs from rural cities and remote areas are withdrawn in which public television is really the only source of academically enriching content that many children receive,” she added.
The Trump administration wants to withdraw more than 1 billion US dollar to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which is financed.
The recovery package, which was debated at the Senate at the present time, appeared after the contract to save the emergency plan of the International President of AIDS relief or Pepper.
The CPB cuts, on the other hand, have clearly a priority for President Trump, who accuses his publicly financed organizations of having liberal bias.
“It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions calculation and in particular remove the company for public broadcasting (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN & MSDNC put together” said on social media last weekUsing a derogatory nickname for MSNBC.
“Every Republican who is correct to further transfer this monstrosity will not have my support or confirmation,” he added.
Tim Richardson, Journalism and Disinformation Director at Pen America, said: “Certain cuts are really part of this wider effort of the administration to punish Dissens and to exacerbate the information about the information that Americans can access.
Under PBS Learnedia, teachers have access to educational videos, teaching plans and interactive activities for children. It also offers newsletters for educators who keep you up to date on current events and recent research.
PBS Kids also offers free, self-made lessons for students and teachers and educational games for students in K-2. There have been such content for children for more than 50 years and is available in 98 percent of US households.

“This outrageous indoctrination of American children has taken far too long, and President Trump’s recovery package will finally put an end to the sauce train financed by the taxpayer,” they added.
It is not the first hit to take PBS under the Trump administration after the educational department canceled 23 million US dollars from Ready to Learning Grant in May. The department said that the grants were canceled due to the latest programs that focused on “racial justice”.
This previous cancellation was a shock for PBS because the scholarship had long been tailored to the priorities of a government.
“During the government of George W. Bush, it was not left behind, and we really concentrated on the literacy. And during the Obama years we focused very much on science, MINT and data analysis. And the grant that ended in May was actually an advertisement from the first Trump government, and it focused on the reading of the workforce and the willingness of workers for projects.
It was found that several studies have success in certain learning aspects in miniature children who viewed PBS programming. An analysis of 2021 showed that those who observed “Molly of Denali” had better capabilities to solve problems.

According to the PBS, it would be hard to find alternative sources of financing and emphasizes that the PBS model is currently using the PBS model to create its programs.
“We will be able to do much less to do what we can do. There is no way to replace this federal financing,” said Dewitt and added that the media landscape for children “is really driven by algorithms or is controlled by a potential for sales” by considering a child as long as possible that is considered success. ”
“What we consider as success is how well this content learns to a child, how well it prepares for school, how well he is preparing to be in your community and interact with other children, and I think that will really be lost because there will be no commercial incentives for this type of content,” she added.
Parents may have to search for other options for free educational content, including recommendations from librarians and teachers, but alternatives are also in Trump’s state funding cuts in Fritz.
The federal government is currently Given a lawsuit of states After $ 6 billion for the financing of activities after school and in the summer of $ 6 billion and endangered these programs to reduce or close overall.
“School districts have to get mixed up: I cannot start their post -school programs, cannot carry out the training that they need for the teachers who will learn the science of reading this summer,” said Lisa Guernsey, Senior Director of the 12th Classical Policy at New America and co -founder and director of the learning science. “There are also these cuts at PBS, which also lose access to these community learning programs.
