The station said airing the episode would violate the audience's trust.
The episode in question, titled “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone,” shows Arthur and his pals' beloved teacher getting married to another man. The kids initially think Mr. Ratburn is marrying a woman, another rat, but she turns out to be Mr. Ratburn's sister, voiced by Jane Lynch.
“Parents have trusted Alabama Public Television for more than 50 years to provide children’s programs that entertain, educate and inspire,” McKenzie said in a statement, according to NBC.
