Sesame Street teaches children violence is not the answer.

Characters occasionally fall down and hurt themselves. Cuts, scrapes, bruises, etc. are never shown on-screen, but sometimes characters have to apply bandages. It is meant to be educational, as one can learn what to do if someone ever gets hurt.

Sometimes anti-autistic slurs. Racial slurs.

Essentially never.

Almost none of any kind.
