BCN Editor's Note: When I saw Elon's warning on X my heart sunk, as my granddaughter loves Peppa Pig, and watches the British cartoon often. I had thought it was one of the safer options out there, but apparently even Peppa has been indoctrinated with woke ideology. Parents, and also we grandparents need to stay informed on which "wolves in sheep's clothing" have our children and grandkids in their crosshairs. Praying for good discernment can help in that area. And thank God for Elon helping to get the word out. -Aimee Herd, Breaking Christian News

[Newsbusters.org] "Woke programming is everywhere in children's 'educational shows' and books," billionaire technological visionary Elon Musk warned Thursday, reacting to a video clip from the popular cartoon for preschoolers, Peppa Pig. (Screengrab image: via X-XFreeze /Peppa Pig)

"They are trying to feed woke poison to your children without you knowing it. Who would guess that simple cartoons like Peppa Pig were being used for indoctrination?" @XFreeze wrote on X.com, embedding a video clip from the cartoon, prompting Musk's comment. In the video clip, Penny Polar Bear, a child, explains that "I live with my mummy and my other mummy."

"One mummy is a doctor and one mummy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti," Penny continues, nonchalantly.

The Hasbro-acquired British children's cartoon first introduced the lesbian "mummies" in 2022. As NewsBusters reported at the time, the cartoon was already so influential that it had American preschoolers copying the characters' British accent.

This isn't the first time Musk has spoken out against radical-leftist media efforts to groom impressionable young children.

"Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids," Musk urged last September, reposting a graphic portraying Netflix as a Trojan Horse furtively indoctrinating young children with transgender ideology. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
