The following is my opinion only.
This decision on the part of PBS is one of two (or both) things.
1) A knee-jerk reaction to the actions of a very conservative Congress and FCC.
2) Intended to make a point to those above that it is possible to go too far in a campaign to sanitize the airwaves.
In many ways, it is unfortunate that public broadcasting is no longer a pseudo-governmental operation -- dependent on Federal dollars. I know that sounds odd but, in years past, when "educational" broadcasting was almost an arm of the government (ie The National Endowment for the Arts), they appeared to have more creative freedom -- and less nervous underwriters to deal with.
