  • The Oklahoma State Department of Education announced Sept. 5 a partnership with PragerU Kids.
    PragerU defines itself as "a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education."
    PragerU is not an official university, nor does it offer degrees or certifications.

    Reminder: Prager U is not a university and made a pro-slavery video.

      Prager U is a blatant, white supremacist propaganda mill.

    PragerU content should only be used for media literacy and critical thinking classes, as bad examples.

      The problem is that conservatives have labeled fact-based education as "propaganda" because it doesn't advance their agenda. Neither the claims nor the people making them should be taken seriously, but we have a media climate that has shattered the Overton Window by giving crackpots and fascists a platform in the interest of telling "both sides".
      There is no "both sides" when you're talking to fascists, flat earthers, and bigots. You let them have their slimy corners of the internet, but you do not put them at the table with the adults. We have real problems to solve in the world today, and you're not going to do it with authoritarianism, magical thinking, and conspiracy theories.

      Fair but I think that atrocities should not be minimized and brushed aside. I don’t think people should down play the truth of what occurred even if it can be upsetting.

      Well yeah? People like this have been picking rural kid's textbooks since 1960s. Even so, PragerU goes WAAY further. Even there's nothing /horrible/ in this curriculum, there's plenty in their internal material.
      There's a long record of Prager holding extreme positions, and a current history of them syphoning $$$$ from states' education budgets in return for election donations to the officials who sign the deal.
