Explaining Mr. Rogers to kids who didn't grow up with him is a trip because he sounds like a political juggernaut.
When public pools were segregated, he put his feet in a kiddy pool with Officer Clemmens, a Black man.
He saved PBS by addressing senate.
He made his show accessible for blind kids.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.
