“On PBS, "they now have drag queen storytime instead of good old ‘Sesame Street.’”
What PolitiFact found
"Sesame Street" continues airing on PBS. The newest season will begin airing in the fall. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., referenced one 2021 segment of the show "Let’s Learn" that featured a drag queen. "Let’s Learn" is created and funded by a local PBS member station and the New York City Department of Education, not the national PBS organization.
