Hello John. I am a fan of both your books and all your vast video library of work. I am an old-school media person, both grew up on and worked at Sesame Street, and the question that has been bugging me for a long time now is why new media is not being used to "raise up" the diverse masses of children the way Sesame Street used TV. Saw the Google diversity stats yesterday, not surprising but still appalling. There is a ton of incredible content for kids out there, including your excellent videos, but I still feel like the kids who will be drawn to that content are not the ones who need it most. Thoughts?
