A new spinoff series of a popular Netflix show for babies and preschoolers has some parents in an uproar after it introduced LGBTQ characters and a scene where a boy dresses up in a tutu and tiara.
In one episode segment for “CoComelon Lane” called, “Just be me,” a little boy plays dress up in a studio preparing for a photo shoot with his two dads.
Taking out different costumes, he asks his same-sex parents which one would look best. His dads encourage him to “be himself.”
“Think about all the things you like to do; just be you,” they sing to him. After dressing up as a firefighter and a chef, he dons a tiara and tutu and spins around the room.
The clip was shared by “End Wokeness” on X where it received over 7 million views in less than 24 hours.
Upset parents weighed in accusing the latest version of the well-known kid’s show of going “woke.”
Consumers’ Research executive director Will Hild told Fox News Digital he was “disgusted” by what he saw as an attempt to “groom” children.
The father of two said his children had long watched the original show and never had a reason to be concerned until now.
Hild argued the episode went beyond pushing a general acceptance for same-sex families and seemed to be encouraging cross-dressing, which he believed was pushing an agenda, “given everything that is going on with drag queen story hours” and sexually explicit books in schools and libraries.
