Oh if Mr Rogers was current he would have been seen as incredibly “woke”. This is the man who during the civil rights discourse decided that kids needed to see black people as less scary and capable of authority so they implemented the character of Officer Clemmons. There is a famous clip of him offering Officer Clemmons a chance to cool his feet in the same wading pool he’s using because out in the world there was a massive push to keep public pools segregate and conservative nutjobs were throwing caustics into pools that didn’t comply and telling their kids that black people were dirty.
They would have been screaming for an end to Rogers " woke SJW tyranny".
