A new Disney+ streaming cartoon aimed at children features elements of Critical Race Theory, identifies one of the White characters in the show as guilty of "white fragility," denounces Abraham Lincoln as not "caring" about ending slavery, and features kids discussing toppling a statue of a historical figure they don’t agree with.

"The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder" is a revival of an early 2000s Disney Channel show and revolves around a group of kids growing up in modern America. In the season finale, the town of Smithville is about to put up a statue to founder Christian A. Smith. One of the main characters, Maya, discovers Smith was a slave holder.

Maya is raised by an interracial gay couple. Randall, who is Black, angrily denounces his husband Barry, who is White, for defending the town founder, proof of "white fragility," he says: "I don’t understand anything about [your] white fragility!"
