This is America, Charlie Brown - The Mayflower Voyagers

Buy This Item This is America, Charlie Brown - The Mayflower Voyagers by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $9.95  on 8-10-2008     One of 13 kids videos that teach kids <br />about our heritage, featuring lovable <br />Peanuts Characters. Long Live Charlie <br />Brown! Reader Reviews As a grandma, I preview videos for my young grandchildren. The 24 minute video, #8 offering in the "This is America, Charlie Brown" group is NOT a good one! The first part of the video was just fine. It is the last part I take to task! Remember, this is just a 24 minute video, folks. The presentation of the more recent years of our country's history was not appropriate for especially young viewers! The strong emphasis on pictures of war was unnessary. There is more to our country than war! Since in 24 minutes they cannot present ALL the events in our country's history, to present the pictures of the anti Viet Nam protests, injured soldiers, a plane strafing bombs was taking advantage of our young viewers who love Charlie Brown and the gang and presenting heavy adult historical involvement. This was TOTALLY inappropriate! Whoever wrote the script for this video had an agenda! I think Charles Schulz would turn over in his grave if he thought his Charlie Brown gang exposed children to undesirable thinking in the name of entertainment! This was written by Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, I believe, NOT Charles Schulz! The other videos in the group present a more acceptable presentation of our history, Even though the civil war was presented, the tie to President Lincoln made that war presentation acceptable. Also, the Civil War is at a distance now. I would urge all parents or grandparents to preview this volume #8 before any showing to young people. I will use my copy to do just that. Otherwise, I would just destroy the copy I have!
