I went down a PragerU Kids rabbit hole, and JFC, it’s even worse than I thought.
After Oklahoma’s Department of Education recently announced it would be following in Florida’s footsteps by partnering with the conservative online media organization, PragerU, I felt compelled to take a deeper look at some of the content they’ll be supplying to some of America’s public schools. (New Hampshire—the “Live Free or Die” state—also approved PragerU’s “financial literacy” for use in its schools.)
“This will be fun. Gruesome, but fun,” I thought. Sure, I’d seen some of the viral clips online. They were plainly ridiculous and an insult to the intelligence of children.
