You know, that dance wasn’t as safe as they said it was.

Sometimes in a suit, I see my shoelace has come untied, and I think “that’s just not worth the effort in this stylish straight jacket”.
I don’t wear suits often.

Not quite. In the case of blockbuster it is a single national company with local franchisees that are all supposed to be run according to the same corporate guidelines, like McDonalds.
With public television you have a bunch of independent stations that choose which public programming they want to license. That programming may include material from PBS, but it can also include programming from APT or the BBC or other sources including their own original content.

On their website, PBS has documents describing their corporate guidelines as well. PBS Alabama isn’t free to air anything they like. They aren’t free to let funders dictate programming. They way they edited the program doesn’t meet PBS editorial standards on inclusiveness.
If PBS Alabama went full on racist (which doesn’t seem as absurd as it did only a short time ago), you don’t think there would be any consequences from the Washington headquarters?
I’ve only been a donor for two years and it isn’t a lot of money, but this action really bothers me.

You’re not wrong. It looks fine when they’re prancing around a pseudo-medieval village, but on a crowded dance floor, it’s designed to poke the eyes of the person on your left and the crotch of the person on your right. NOT SAFE!

Performed by men without hats, too. Clearly, they were lucky to survive.

It’s not the lack of hats. It’s the lack of protective eyewear!
