Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in North Carolina

Infringement of my rights as a Parent

I feel like the local television station has infringed on my rights as a parent by airing a cartoon '' Postcards from Buster'' which contained references to homosexuality. They have infringed on my right as a parent to decide how, when and where it is appropriate to introduce my child to these types of issues and I want to know if I have a grounds enough to sue them, or maybe start a class action law suit?I cannot understand why a TV station would want to direct this type content to young children and I want to do something about it, and I want to know what can be done about it.
