I heard a big ol interview about this on NPR, and their basic cop out was that the show did not fully deal with the subject of homosexuality. It just put it out there without any discussion. However, I highly doubt that an episode totally about a gay community would be accepted.
I've actually watched the show, and was very impressed. It introduces the many cultures that exist in America. The two episodes that I saw were about the chinese new year, and a muslim family. I think it's great to instill in small children an appreciation for culture. I hope this show is not dropped, or otherwise altered.
