Meh, its’ a new world. Our grandkids (Creator willing) will look back and laugh at this the way we laugh at duck and cover drills. As long as the government doesn’t tell kids to keep an eye on their brown friends, whatever.

I don’t know about you…but I think it’s fine for my 10 year old to be oblivious to twat.

Not I I would prefer my child to be aware of the world around them. Even that young. It may be a little silly, but cute mascot animals are a pretty time-tested way to pass a message along to kids.

If by “they,” you mean “dog breeders,” then yes. Of course they are. That’s what they do. Please note that this breed originated in 1968.
In conclusion, lame-assed OP. Blind partisan hacking. Par for the course.
What’s your point? That a dog which was bred in the United States shouldn’t be called an American Shepherd? Are you always this hopelessly pedantic, or do you save it up to try to make your more obscure points? Truth is that the breed has several alternate names: North American shepherd, American shepherd, and even “miniature Australian shepherd.”
But what does it matter? They could have used a English mastiff for all I care, and all that matters to you is that the administration is trotting out a new program, which is always an excuse for you to break out the tinfoil beanie.
I think this is a great idea. My friends and I used to delight in making fun of McGruff the Crime Dog singing the “Users are Losers” song when I was young. Hopefully, this campaign will be equally silly, and the kiddies will have their own amusement.
You were one of those young cynics who responded to gradeschool anti-smoking campaigns by drawing a poster of McGruff holding a pack and saying “Take a Bite Out of Cigarettes” weren’t you?
