Dora the Explorer?

Question

Fed up with the illegal immigration problem, Do you accept what DORA THE EXPLORER does as far as helping to educate our children?
I am very fed up with ILLEGAL immigration, but have somehow managed to get past this issue to allow my kids to watch the show and have Dora the Explorer products..
Do you?
I'm asking because from what I understand Dora the Explorer originated in Mexico..and spanish is spoken on the program..

I don't care about the mexico thing or spanish language one way or another. Its a good educational program that my kids and I like to watch together. and speaking a 2nd. language is a good thing to have in the work force too..

I have kids. My point is: aint this an education show? So why have a problem with it just because it's from Mexico and uses the Spanish language.

I can tell from the answers , ya'll DID NOT COMPLETELY READ THE QUESTION!!

I'm just asking if you like Dora the Explorer. and if you are able to get past the fact that it is from Mexico and uses the spanish language?
My kids and I love it!!!

Answer 1

Yep. I am fed up with the immigration problem and all that but I too like Dora and all the kids in our family love Dora. I have no problem with it. Except, like another commenter said, we have to keep an eye on Swiper. LOL

Answer 2

My daughter loves Dora. I don't think she realizes Dora is, or is supposed to be foreign. And many kids do learn simple words in Spanish from it. I think It'd help kids learn about diversity. I have a friend in the Netherlands. They play Dora there in Dutch and the inserts that would be in Spanish here are done in English there...I know in Mexico they play it in Spanish and the inserts are in English as well. Good educational TV show I think.

For the IDIOT who says you can't find good paying jobs if you are bilingual, it's just the opposit:

Answer 3

If you are set against illegals why try to prove a point using the innocence of a children's program??? More than just Mexicans immigrant's speak Spanish there are those from Honduras, Peru, Argentina.... Just to pick on Mexico is a biased opinion.

Answer 4

u sound racist,
isn't spanish the second language in the US anyways. so is actually a good thing.
heck im spanish, not from mexico but i speak english perfectly, born here tho,
i also speak spanish japanese n french i dont mind learning five thousand other languages too.

Answer 5

have you ever even seen the show? because that's not the point of it.

do you understand that Spanish is the second language here? it's impossible to get away from.
The show teaches kids how to follow directions, a few primary Spanish words, and about friendship.

If I were a betting woman, which I am, I would bet that you don't have any children.

Answer 6

But why doesn't that iguana have toes? Did some evil entity amputate all its digits while Dora was fooling around with Diego? Or did Swiper swipe them?

Answer 7

No, I do not like that show.
