"It’s a protist, not a plant!" (H.o.p.’s indignant)

H.o.p. is furious.

It has become a major source of contention for H.o.p. that so many children’s PBS shows and computer learning programs refer to algae as a plant.

“Algae is not a plant, it’s a protist!” he says.

“It’s a Big Big World” called algae a plant.

H.o.p. yelled, “Algae is not a plant, it’s a protist!”

“Barney” called algae a plant.

H.o.p. yelled, “Algae is not a plant, it’s a protist!”

And he yells anyway when Barney comes on. “Aaagh! Barney! I hate Barney!”

“Time 4 Learning” called algae a plant.

“Algae is not a plant, it’s a protist!” said H.o.p.

But not Brainpop. Brainpop correctly gets it right that algae is a protist.

Anyway, H.o.p. is writing Time 4 Learning to let them know that they are all wrong about algae.
