The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is in the news again.
Kermit the Frog, the iconic “Sesame Street” Muppet, will give the 2025 commencement address at the University of Maryland.
Kermit’s appearance will coincide with the 65th anniversary of the graduation of UM’s Jim Henson, who was awarded a degree in home economics in 1960. In a press release, “Kermit” said he would keep the address upbeat, even though, as he put it, “It’s hard to be green.”… Continue Reading
