Staffer Resigns From Smith College Over 'Anti-Racist’ Programs
If you tune in to old episodes of “The Muppet Show” on Disney+, you’ll now receive a woke warning prior to watching the show.
After making five seasons available for streaming on its service, Disney+ slapped a disclaimer onto each episode, warning viewers that the classic show features “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures.”
The disclaimer continues, “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”
It continues, “Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.”
The New York Post reports:
It’s unstated precisely what Disney considers to be offensive on the show, but some characters depict Native American, Middle Eastern and Asian people.
And in season five, legendary country singer Johnny Cash is seen performing in front of a Confederate flag.
The warning will also appear before some iconic movies, including “Aristocats,” “Dumbo,” “Peter Pan,” and “Swiss Family Robinson.”
Disney was slammed on social media for the disclaimer by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) who pointed out the company’s hypocrisy:
“Disney is concerned that ‘The Muppet Show’ is offensive,” he wrote on Twitter.
“But filming where China runs concentration camps for Uighurs? Disney is okay with that.”
