In schools 2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Thousands of educators have asked PragerU to provide educational material. They - and many parents - are not happy that current school curriculum often seeks to radicalize students to a woke, leftist political agenda.

Florida has officially approved of using PragerU-produced resources in schools. Other states may also be considering it. But there's opposition. Of course there is.

Florida left-wingers are not happy. Do they want kids being taught that their sex/gender can be reversed, that America is systemically and unredeemably racist, that our founding fathers were evil? Probably. Or, they're stuck in the political party that approves those views and they have never thought those things through.

The Week quotes one professor as calling Florida's policy "an invitation to disaster in the classroom." Another quote in the article describes PragerU as "bigoted conspiracy theorizing." On the other hand, they admit that it has "gargantuan" popularity, with over a billion views on Youtube.
