This was, honest to God, the very first time I ever heard about voting.
When I was a kid, it was shows like Sesame Street that introduced me to a lot of the basics of American life. This video is still a great one to use with young students who still can’t participate in Election Day.
The best part is when David goes apeshit on Big Bird and Snuffy about voter registration.
Enjoy this classic clip of a great show before it was ruined by Elmo and the big purple dinosaur.
