Per the article:
Critics say PragerU lessons distort history and facts to serve a conservative worldview. Some scientists have said PragerU videos lack context and downplay climate change as climate alarmism, while the Council on American-Islamic Relations alleges some videos are anti-Muslim. Other complaints center on the nonprofit’s portrayal of slavery.
PragerU is literally paid by billionaires to push their far-right science denial

Funny how they’re the first ones to accuse others of child grooming.
It’s just constant projection with them, isn’t it?
I’ve never known the Republican Party to not be a bunch of hypocrites. At least they’re consistent.
Every accusation is a confession
I was just thinking about how Trump co-opted the term “Fake News”. The term gained traction in reference to the Republican backed “fake news“ about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

If we keep heading this way, the US is going to fucking balkanize.
Isn’t it already?
Every accusation is an admission.
From the people that brought you Fake News, we now present… Fake School.
Preparing the kids for trump university.
That’s after they’ve proven themselves in the trump youth. Or better said Drumpfjugend.
So, what’s the end goal? Are they trying to make “Idiocracy” a documentary? What happens when the US public no longer has the understanding or knowledge of basic science? Who will invent and innovate? Who will advance technology? Technology that all these people enjoy every day. That they stand on top of to try and control the public. That they are using to make people dumber. How short sighted are these people?
They need consumers. It’s not some long game, master plan-type of thing. It’s a short term thing that’s just being pushed by a bunch of different lobbies/interests.
American politicians, lobbyists and general population are all drinking the same low-IQ Kool aid.
I get that… but it’s kinda like China with the one child law…. No one said “hey, eventually this will make our population decline.”? It’s mind bottling that none of them thinks further than the next yacht.
Population decline was the point of the one child policy. To help stop, among other things, environmental collapse.
The point of one child was not to decline the population, but to level it off, to help with resources. They left it in place waaaaaay too long and have reached a point where reversing it will be a Herculean effort.
Every advanced country is going to have population decline, as most women don’t actually want to have kids. Or at least have enough kids to maintain the current population levels.
Umm, I’d like to see statistics or data on that. Sounds more like an opinion.
Yes. It’s exactly this. Just think about your friends/coworkers/family who have no idea what goes on politically that directly affects them and don’t care.
Now double or triple that number. That’s the uneducated, apathetic group Republicans need to try and hold onto power.
For those curious about why PragerU’s raison d’être is to push Islamophobia; here is how the CEO starts off her introduction page:
Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, was born in Los Angeles and moved to Israel at a young age, where she completed her primary education and served in military intelligence unit 8200 of the Israel Defense Forces
Founder is also batshit crazy

Mr the kids yearn for the mines
Dennis “Adult incest” Prager
Damn everything is just Zionists top to bottom.
His initial political work starting in 1969 concerned Refuseniks, the Soviet Jews who were unable to emigrate.
Had to look up what a Refusenik is following that link
Refusenik (Russian: отказник, romanized: otkaznik, from отказ (otkaz) ‘refusal’; alternatively spelled refusnik) was an unofficial term for individuals—typically, but not exclusively, Soviet Jews—who were denied permission to emigrate, primarily to Israel, by the authorities of the Soviet Union
Remember that DEMOCRATS are the ones Indoctrinating Kids!
It’s always projection. They want to indoctrinate, so they project it on others.
Not just indoctrinating, but grooming… It’s so stupid

Yeah, but I bet an alarmingly high proportion of kids exposed to this crap never realize what’s going on.
Wait, so cool t shirts?!
Don’t you hate those fire alarmists?? Always making a big fuss when your house is on fire and your family is in danger. Like, let me sleep bro!
Yeah all reasonable people just call it fire change
Just look up some prageru textbook images on your search engine of choice. Some of them are so nuts you will think they are satire.
in schools
Converting schools to forced ad watching auditoriums, no Skip button.

And for those just curious which states: Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana and Arizona
With a tin foil fitted on to the side like T.I used to do it
as a country with illiteracy rates & propagandized historical literature more prevalent then its ever been, this is a tough Uniparty play
who will read & write the laws of the future ?
The kids of billionaires of course — that’s the whole point of this kind of move.
INDOCTERNATION!

They’re good to show, so that they can teach students to dissect it and learn how propaganda works.
I’m sure that’s not how they’re being presented though.
That’s the point.
Schools don’t teach you how to dissect propaganda because they don’t want you dissecting the propaganda they already teach.
I’ve never seen so many people miss the point. Schools should teach people to dissect propaganda. They should teach how propaganda uses fallacies and preys on anger. Geez.
Sure. The state isn’t going to do that though, because it wants kids to obey first and believe in human rights (with a deliberately vague understanding of such) and democracy (managed) second.
That will only work if the teacher accompanies the videos with critical thinking skills including fact checking using multiple sources and asking “who stands to profit from these messages?”
