From Sesame Street to Drag Culture: How the Left is Targeting Your Children

The latest episode of The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo, a spin-off of the once beloved Sesame Street, is raising eyebrows — and for all the wrong reasons. What used to be an educational, family-friendly program aimed at helping toddlers learn basic values like friendship, literacy, and respect has now become yet another weapon in the cultural war launched by the radical Left.

This week, the show featured a bizarre segment where a monster named Alan is transformed on-stage into a flamboyant, runway-ready "monstrous version" of Jonathan Van Ness — the non-binary, gender-fluid star of Netflix’s Queer Eye. The segment included runway music, commentary on monster fashion, and enthusiastic applause from Elmo and Cookie Monster. To many viewers, especially conservative families, it felt less like a fun sketch and more like a drag show for toddlers.

When Did Sesame Street Become Political Theater?
The Left has long understood the power of media, particularly when it comes to shaping young minds. But what we’re witnessing now is more than just inclusive storytelling — it’s indoctrination. Sesame Street, once a pillar of childhood education and joy, is being hijacked by progressive ideologues seeking to normalize radical gender theory to children as young as two or three years old.

Let’s be clear: dressing up a puppet to resemble a well-known LGBTQ+ celebrity and staging a fashion show on a preschool program isn’t about celebrating diversity. It’s an intentional move to erode the traditional values that have long been the bedrock of the U.S. family unit. It’s no coincidence that the figure chosen as inspiration — Jonathan Van Ness — is a prominent activist who has openly called for the dismantling of gender norms and the inclusion of “gender creativity” in early childhood development.

The question every parent should be asking is: Why are our tax dollars, through PBS and other public grants, funding this kind of programming?

Alan the “Monster”: Representation or Manipulation?
In the episode, Elmo and Cookie Monster celebrate Alan’s new look with exaggerated praise: “elegant horns,” “soft, fluffy fur,” and “a huge monster snout” are described in detail, mimicking the language of runway fashion commentators. But underneath the surface, the segment is anything but innocent.

This wasn’t just a puppet dress-up. It was a deliberate parody of drag culture, tailored for a preschool audience. The staging, the music, the terminology — all of it eerily mirrored the structure of real-world drag performances. And that’s no accident. Children are being introduced to a world of gender fluidity, performative identity, and self-transformation not through education, but through manipulation disguised as fun.

And let’s not forget: children are incredibly impressionable. What they see on screen becomes normalized in their worldview. So when progressive producers inject these values into children’s shows, it isn’t about inclusion — it’s about shaping the next generation into ideological foot soldiers for their cause.

Where Is the Line?
Conservative parents across the U.S. are rightly sounding the alarm. Many have taken to social media, expressing their frustration and disbelief. “I turned on Sesame Street to teach my kid about counting. Instead, we got a drag performance,” said one parent from Texas.

Unfortunately, this is no longer an isolated event. Over the past five years, we’ve seen:

Non-binary Muppets introduced into PBS programming

Drag Queen Story Hour events in public libraries funded by local governments

Children’s cartoons like Blue’s Clues and My Little Pony celebrating Pride parades

Books in elementary schools that promote gender fluidity and question biological sex

Each incident alone might seem small, but together they represent a calculated campaign. The goal? To reengineer society from its most foundational level: the family.

Trump’s Vision vs. The Radical Left’s Agenda
Under President Donald J. Trump’s renewed leadership, there has been a consistent push to protect children from the ideological overreach of the Left. In his second term, Trump has supported legislation that:

Defunds public programming that promotes radical gender theory

Protects parental rights in education and media

Encourages transparency in school curricula and children's media content

The American people didn’t vote for drag shows on PBS. They didn’t ask for a cultural revolution disguised as children’s entertainment. They voted for common sense, tradition, and truth.

It’s not “bigoted” to want your children to grow up without confusion. It’s not “hate” to believe that men are men and women are women. And it’s certainly not “oppressive” to say that preschool is not the place for progressive sexual politics.

Parents: Take Back the Screen
This latest incident should be a wake-up call to every U.S. parent: Do you know what your children are watching?

It’s time to stop blindly trusting networks like PBS. It’s time to vet every show, every episode, and every so-called “lesson.” The Left counts on our silence. They expect us to be too tired or too busy to notice. But if we remain passive, we surrender the minds and hearts of our children to a worldview that sees gender as a costume and morality as subjective.

Instead, we must reclaim media. Support creators and platforms that respect traditional values. Champion alternatives that teach truth, responsibility, and respect for the natural order.

Don’t Let the Monsters Win
This isn’t just about a fuzzy character named Alan or a parody of Jonathan Van Ness. It’s about a bigger battle for the soul of this nation. When even a show like Sesame Street becomes a vehicle for woke ideology, it’s clear: no space is safe from the Left’s cultural war.

But conservatives are waking up. Parents are organizing. And with strong leadership from President Trump and a growing coalition of defenders of truth, we can draw a line — and hold it.

Let children be children. And keep woke monsters off their screens.
