Talk about unfair. Melanie Martinez, the host of The Good Night Show on PBS Sprout, has been fired because of two satirical videos that she made seven years ago. PBS claims that because the content of these videos wasn’t suitable for kids, she had to get the boot.

Well, then, what about the fact that actors such as Jim Carrey, Willem DaFoe, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci have all been guest stars on Sesame Street? They’ve also all turned in certain performances that we wouldn’t want our children to watch. What exactly is different about Ms. Martinez? Perhaps the problem was that her videos weren’t successful enough. Maybe if she had won an Oscar for them she would be getting a promotion instead.

Please say Enough, PBS! Help bring back Ms. Martinez by signing this petition or by writing to your local PBS affiliate.
