(DC Pundit) – Has anyone else noticed that the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) seems to think taxpayers are just dying to fund drag queen sing-alongs for preschoolers? Apparently, in the land of government-subsidized television, “educational programming” now includes a cross-dressing crooner serenading kids as young as three with a hip-shaking rendition of “Wheels on the Bus.” And here we thought PBS was all about Big Bird and counting cookies.
This gem of a revelation came courtesy of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday. Greene, never one to mince words, hauled PBS CEO Paula Kerger and National Public Radio (NPR) CEO Katherine Maher into the hot seat to explain why conservatives should keep footing the bill for what looks more like left-wing propaganda than public service. Spoiler alert: their answers were about as convincing as a toddler denying they ate the last cookie while crumbs fall from their mouth.
Greene played a clip for the committee—a drag queen, featured on PBS programming, belting out, “The hips on the drag queen go, swish, swish, swish,” followed by “the shoulders on the drag queen go, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy.” The grand finale? “The mouth on the drag queen goes blah blah blah all through the town.” Move over, Sesame Street; there’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s got glitter and a falsetto. Greene didn’t hold back, calling it “repulsive” and unfit for kids aged three to eight. “That’s not what children should ever be watching,” she said, “a grown, biological man, posing as a woman.” Preach, Marjorie.
Kerger, with a straight face, claimed the clip “never aired” and was “mistakenly” posted on their website before being “immediately pulled down.” Sounds legit—until Greene dropped the receipts. Turns out, this wasn’t some oopsie-daisy upload. The segment aired on April 1, 2021, and didn’t “expire” until May 24—nearly two months later. That’s a long time for an “accident,” Paula. Did the New York City station just forget to hit delete, or were they hoping nobody would notice? Greene wasn’t buying it, pointing out, “Ms. Kerger lied under oath and said it wasn’t featured on PBS.” Caught red-handed, and not even Elmo could spin that one.
In my @DOGECommittee hearing, PBS CEO Paula Kerger LIED about posting this ‘Let’s Learn’ Drag Queen kids indoctrination video.
Here is the PROOF that the video was intentionally posted by this radical left-wing media outlet.

Swish swish swish.
Shimmy shimmy shimmy.
This is the sick propaganda PBS uses to brainwash our kids with your money.
CEO Paula Kerger lied when she claimed it aired by accident by only a local affiliate.

Meanwhile, the radical left doubled down. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) threw a tantrum, erupting into a vulgar, race-baiting rant and calling the GOP’s push to defund this nonsense “bullsh*t.” Classy, Jasmine. The Democrats’ defense? Save the puppets and the pronouns, apparently. They’re still fighting for “they/them” over “you,” even after President Trump’s landslide reelection proved Americans want no part of the pronoun game.
PBS didn’t stop at drag queens, either. They’ve aired gems like “Racist Trees”—yes, you read that right—and transgender teen specials, all while Kerger played dumb when grilled by Rep. Will Timmons (R-SC). “I don’t know anything about that,” she said about the tree fiasco. Sure, Paula, and I don’t know where my tax dollars went last year. This is why conservatives are fed up. We’re not here to bankroll woke experiments masquerading as education. It’s high time we cut the cord on PBS’s taxpayer-funded fever dream. Let’s fund roads, not rhinestones.
