Constructive Feedback: "What Corporate Policies Have Been Implemented To Ensure That Sesame Street Employees Don't Abuse Kids In The Future?"

Accused pedophile: Kevin Clash

As you may know, Elmo actor Kevin Clash today resigned as a Sesame Street employee in the wake of allegations that he had sex with a 16-year-old boy. The conservative blogger in Georgia wonders why the same scrutiny given to the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America isn't being applied to the liberal-oriented Sesame Workshop: "At present there is no witch hunt against Sesame Workshop as we have seen against 'The Catholic Church' or 'The Boy Scouts Of America'. OF COURSE most will say - 'Sesame Street didn't have a pattern of child molestation so this is not a fair comparison'. The point is not about the pattern but the POLICY."

Constructive Feedback continues his commentary about the situation: "Where is the scrutiny of Sesame Workshop as the news media attempts to acknowledge the sensitivities that are present in a venue where young, impressionable children potentially have their world shattered as their lovable friend that was totally trustworthy must now be inspected to ensure that he doesn't try to place his hands up in their shirts and upon their backs? Where is the call for PREEMPTION rather than the missile attack against established power - after the fact?"

More: "The fact that Elmo's operator is a gay man is not the disqualifier here. The fact that the media has shown no interest to aggressively compel his employer to reaffirm the 'safe space' that they are branded as - IS THE PROBLEM. It seems that the press is in on the 'damage control'. It is THEY who don't want to exert 'The Damage' that they are typically known for."
