Senator Chris Coons says the U.S. spending $20 million on Sesame Street in Iraq is absolutely necessary for US taxpayers to spend their money on.
Coons says Sesame Street in Iraq is preventing kids from dying.
"This isn't just funding a kids show for children, millions of children in countries like Iraq."
"It's a show that helps teach values, helps teach public health, helps prevent kids from dying from dysentery and disease, and helps push values like collaboration, peacefulness, cooperation in a society where the alternative is ISIS extremism and terrorism."
