You thought Van Jones telling students their parents were stupid was bad enough. How about Al Jazeera telling young children their parents are infidels and they themselves should convert? http://www.mediaite.com/tv/prepare-for- ... s-channel/

The thinking goes this way: it’s been tough for Al Jazeera to find a home on American cable television. So why not try a new approach? Kid’s programming. Because if cable operators object to offering viewers exposure to Al Jazeera’s news, they’ll probably jump at the chance to provide those viewers Al Jaz for Kids!

Or so goes the thinking, as reported by Fast Company’s Neal Ungerleider, who says “the new English-language Al Jazeera Children’s Channel is scheduled to launch by the end of 2012â€
