As even ABC picks up on the PBS “Postcards for Buster” controversy, complete with on-screen headline about “government” going after a “bunny,” it’s worth noting that PBS has a history of promoting alternative lifestyles.

In a brief turn on “Scarborough Country” Thursday night, I could only explain for a second how subtle this Buster dose of political correctness was for PBS, at least in comparison to the classic ancient example, the 1991 PBS/CPB/NEA-funded documentary “Tongues Untied,” full of profanity and very overt sex talk. For all of you young’ns who wouldn’t remember, you won’t believe it if you look here.

A newer example aimed directly at kids was the “uplifting” indoctrination film “It’s Elementary,” which aired on PBS stations in 1999, which became a national controversy when Idaho Public Television protested the special.
