We watched 'Won't You Be My Neighbour' recently and it was excellent.

I can't imagine living as an actual person the way Fred Rogers did but the fact that he did it was amazing.

That being said, I'd have been more interested in seeing some of the negative aspects focused on a bit more. Not negative about Mr. Rogers himself, but rather people trying (and digging hard) to find negative aspects about him.

I dont want to get into it too much, but at one point there were protesters and they were vilifying Rogers for tolerating and accepting homosexuals.

When pressed upon this point they indicate that they werent outraged because they thought Rogers was a homosexual, they were outraged because as an ordained minister he tolerated homosexuals.



Which is totally insane. They were intolerant of his tolerance. And they really wanted people to know it. Wow.

There was even a sort segment on Fox News indicating that they felt that Mr. Rogers' stance of "I like you just the way you are" is what has lead to the laziness and entitlement of Millennials.

You cant make this stuff up.

If you think Mr. Rogers is evil I think that requires a seriously long look in the mirror and some heavy contemplation and self-evaluation.
