This is why the #fascist #GOP has been screaming about "indoctrination" at schools. It's all lies & projection.
Yup
Step 1: Lie about people doing some horrific thing
Step 2: Do the horrific thing yourself
Step 3: claim it was necessary because other people did it first
I wish the schools had that much influence over my kid. Maybe he’d turn in his homework on time.
Will any colleges even accept a Prager U education?
Notice they never explicitly call themselves a University. That's because they aren't one.
I believe I read that they were sued to stop using the name Prager University as it was considered false advertising, so in typical conservative fashion they grifted long enough to get their name out there and then just hoped no one would notice.
yes, prager university
I had a business professor sneak this bullshit into their class once.
It's definitely in colleges
Liberty I'm sure does.
Prager U invested A LOT of money in making kids content specifically because they’re younger generations see through their bullshit.
It sounds as if we need a set of core information that all schools should teach. Something common that you get taught no matter what school you go to. A common core curriculum if you will.
Wow that's some "grasping at any straw possible" type of journalism.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. First, let's dismantle PragerU in classrooms.
Is it? It seems pretty consistent with their everlasting desire for school vouchers to subsidize private/religious schools.
PragerU is in classrooms?!?
Have a read.

Are you related to Murderface?
"Why don't you make like a bassist and be inaudible?"
Edit: I just thought I'd make it super clear in case anyone thought I was just randomly being a dick, that's something someone says to Murderface in the show.
According to this article, maybe 1% of classrooms in states where it's approved for use. Not a lot of educators find the content to be educational.
Was prepared to hate the article, but it was quite worth the read. That website needs meds though.
