|This popular children's series, based on the eponymous books by Marc Brown and set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, follows the daily life of the titular aardvark, his family, and his friends. It managed to be apolitical for almost 23 years before Arthur's third and fourth grade teacher, Mr. Ratburn, was rewritten as homosexual and "married" to a man in the season 22 episode "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone", likely in a desperate bid to revive public interest in a program past its prime. Local Alabama and Arkansas TV stations banned the episode for that reason. In a particularly distasteful example of a children's franchise's creator putting his personal political views above whether the content is actually appropriate for the intended age bracket, Marc Brown condemned both states for banning the episode.<ref>https://people.com/tv/alabama-pulls-arthur-gay-wedding-episode-marc-brown-responds/?xid=socialflow_twitter_peoplemag&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=peoplemagazine</ref> In another shallow attempt to keep this age-old series culturally relevant, the Web-exclusive episode titled "Arthur on Racism: Talk, Listen, And Act", which was published in August of 2020, encourages its target audiences to support the violent and culturally [[Marxism|Marxist]] [[Black Lives Matter]] movement.<ref>https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2020/08/arthur-on-pbs-indoctrinates-kids-with-blm-propaganda/114291/</ref>
