Red states strike deals to show controversial conservative videos in schools
wapo.st
Educational material from PragerU is now offered to public schools in six states. Opponents call it indoctrination and inaccurate.

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

    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.

          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.
