Honest opinions please. Keep in mind that the question refers to entertaining children, not working with them.

I don't see why not. He was caught in an adult theater beating off. Big deal. His mistake is for being famous and doing it in public rather than at home like us non-famous people.
The charges against him for the kiddie porn was dropped and questionable to begin with. It's not like what you think as child porn these days with images of kids floating around the internet. These were old old pictures considered "erotic artwork".

If he wants to and he does not still look at Kiddie Porn, then what the heck. He was too funny and look at how many sick twisted F#$cks there are on Kids SHows. The whole lidsville, sigmund and the seamonster, HR puff N Stuff thing. The Monkeys were on Saturday Mornings, Heck Michael Jackson had a cartoon as the Jackson 5. May be Pee Wee meets the queen of pop. Yeah now that's the ticket.
They can both touch their Pee Wee in public.

Well - everybody in children's entertainment is not as squeeky clean and Mr. Rogers. I personally would have no problem with him entertaining my kids via TV - but the sponsors do - so it probably won't happen.
He is not a child molestor or into child pornography. He just got caught masterbating in a movie theatre while visiting his parents in Sarasota Florida (because he probably couldn't watch porn in their house). The porn industry is huge and the crossover between people who watch porn (mostly men) and the people who work with/entertain kids is probably quite large. Who knows - maybe Mr. Rogers even watched it sometimes - or Captain Kangaroo - or the guy in the Barney Suit - - and they just never got caught!
I think Paul Reubens is very talented - and he made me laugh a lot back in the 80s. He's had some bad luck - and he's worked pretty hard to get his career back on track. Maybe one day our judgemental society will give him a break.

I can't see why not. After all what he did years ago did not involve children at all. It's not like he's a pedifile or anything. He got caught Jacking off in an adult movie theater, watching pornography featuring adults, not children. So why shouldn't he be allowed to entertain children.

YES!
I am huge on children rights/protection but to my knowledge P.R. was caught in an adult place..not with child porn or anything having to do inappropriately with children. Pee Wee has needs to and although he may not have used the best judgment in relieving himself what did was not a crime against humanity.

I couldn't say. He's probably harmless enough. If you or your children are wanting to see PeeWee's Playhouse, it's on Cartoon Network very early in the morning, like 2 or 3am mountain time.

Why not? His past indiscretions did not involved children, or am I wrong. I thought his public immorality was "exposed" while he was watching a move in a movie house.

If he wants to, he should be allowed to. Masturbating in an adult theatre is what these theatres were designed for, hence the sticky floors. Have a nice day.

No, he's a pervert. I also don't think Michael Jackson should be allowed around children (especially boys).
