Holy crap! That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
I've made my admiration for Mister Rogers known here on a couple of occasions, and I stand by that. He made the world a better place. He never told kids that they didn't have to work or that the world owed them anything. He let kids know that their thoughts and feelings were valid, and that they should treat others with repect. Oooooh! Them's the kind of ideas that could ruin a generation!!!
Grrrrr...
Those other clips are wonderful, though. If anyone cares to see more, there is a great tribute available on DVD - Mister Rogers, America's Favorite Neighbor. (Watch the segment in which he talks with then ten-year old Jeff Erlanger, a quadriplegic who later went on to become a well known activist and advocate for the disabled. Ask yourself if Rogers spoiled this boy by telling him he liked him just the way he was.)
