We will never know since since Mr Rogers has long since passed. But when President Nixon was trying to cut funding to PBS in 1969, Fred Rogers testified before Congress to prevent such cuts. As much today as it was in 1969, this is an attack on children.

I think he would be horrified. Really PBS does a lot of good. I remember watching Sesame Street as a kid and I'm sure it helped me learn as it's helped other kids learn. There's another dimension on this too but by gutting PBS, Mitt would be taking a fair amount of people out of work too. Funny how that's never considered when Republcians want to cut federal programs.
