“HOUSE OF BRICKS” HITS SESAME STREET …
|| By FITSNEWS || This political drama has the distinctive Southern drawl, the engaging face-to-camera soliloquies, a twist ending … even those hip on-screen “text bubble” exchanges. There’s even the “rapping of the ring,” a signature move of Frank Underwood – the fictitious star of Netflix’s smash hit original drama House of Cards.
But this isn’t another sneak peek at the highly anticipated third season of the critically acclaimed series …
This is the long-running children’s show “Sesame Street.” And the audience isn’t being taught about the cutthroat world of U.S. politics, it’s learning subtraction.
Teaching them? “Frank Underwolf,” who vows to huff and puff until he blows down three homes belonging to the “Three Little Pigs,” who debuted on the scene back in 1886 in The Nursery Rhymes of England.
“Some people say there’s too much pork in this town,” Underwolf says as he prepares to take down the first house. “I could not agree more.”
Ha!
And yes … hopefully viewers educated in one of South Carolina’s failing government-run schools will be able to keep up not only with the fast-moving plot, but the head-scratching mathematical calculations as well.
Spoiler alert? “Three minus one equals two.”
Take a look …

I sense the sudden disappearance of funding for PBS approaching…stuck in committee until this offensive and cynical/un-American skit is banished to the memory hole.
Pass….
Pass? You didn’t know the answer to the question, ” Who will fill the next pothole in South Carolina?”
What? No common core math?
“Government run schools”.? You must mean the schools that state government has refused to resource and can’t resource themselves because the communities are too poor. You mean the ones in poor communities whose children are ill-prepared for school? Now you complain they are failures. Gee, wonder how and why that happened? I’mm shocked. shocked I tell you. Sounds to me like the “reduce the government to a size where you can drown it in a bathtub to me”. Sounds to me like “why would (I’m being nice here) we resource those communities? They might then want our jobs and equal treatment–upset our way of life down here. Kinda like the anti-union sentiment. Hell, if everyone had a chance for a good job, well hell, that would really mess things up. We like things the way they are”. BTW, how long did it take to integrate schools in SC after Brown v. Board?
