somenerdyguyonreddit comments on Fox News Spends 6 Minutes Describing Why Mr. Rogers Was an 'Evil, Evil Man':
I saw this a while ago, started cursing, realized that would probably upset Mr. Rogers, calmed down, poured and then stared at a glass of water, and drank it while wondered quietly to myself how a person could be acrimonious and simple enough to demonize a person as kind and decent as Mr. Fred Rogers.
Mr. Rogers taught important behavioral skills to children and helped introduce them to simple issues like how to deal with emotions in a mature matter (such as the song “What Do You Do With The Mad That You Feel?”) and more complex issues like divorce (aka telling kids it’s not their fault their parent’s don’t want to be together and that they still love their child) and death (including the assassination of Robert Kennedy, which frankly everyone needed). He did not avoid the complex issues because he knew the best way to protect kids was to safely educate them on the scary things in life.
