If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no sunday school. what about your responsibilities? is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? is there no room for a children's news show explaining something about the world to them at their level of understanding? is there no room for reading the great literature of the past, teaching them the great traditions of freedom? there are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. must these be your trademarks? search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day. the speaker's comparison of television broadcasters to parents, teachers, and ministers emphasizes that a) broadcasters do not include these people in their ratings' system. b) advertisements for ice cream and other junk food are unfairly targeting children. c) parents, teachers, and ministers often have to make unpopular decisions for the benefit of those they serve. d) parents, teachers, and ministers should use parental controls to monitor what children are watching on television.
