Mr. Rogers understood children deal with every aspect of this world and dialog is the best way to help them understand and cope with issues no matter how good or atrocious.

Probably all the more reason Fox and Friends called Mr Rogers an "evil evil man". Sure their stated reason is because he told children they were special just as they are... the shame of uplifting children apparently and not telling they'll only be special if they work hard and become rich and powerful. But I'm sure his patience and kindness to all people, was a great affront to their mentality, and the mentality of all their ilk. How dare he suggest people be decent to one another.

I wish we had more M. Rogers today..... what a treasure that man was.
