A press release from group states, "This fall in schools across America, students will be watching PragerU videos in their classrooms as states officially make PragerU an approved educational resource."

Despite its name, PragerU is not an accredited academic institution, nor does it issue degrees.

    public education is a critical component of any political project. reactionaries having control of it is a massive L and the damage cannot be overstated

    Another reason why the apathy for voting on the left is a terrible take. Your standard-issue dogshit imperialist Democrat is at least a bulwark against stuff like teaching a generation that slavery was job training, actually.

    It's hard enough to bring people around to opposing capitalism. It's not going to be easier if we have to re-teach them an entire high school curriculum first.

      The apathy for voting in the left stems from the fact that we keep voting and yet this keeps happening. Most people on the left vote. They vote more often than your average American. They just do not advocate for voting. Voting for Democrats does not stem the tide and increase of religious education, particularly when those Democrats continue to push for 'public-private partnerships' and private school voucher systems.

      They are not your friends, their kids do not go to the same schools as yours, and they do not actually care as long as they get elected.

      Apathy in general is a tool that benefits the status quo. Flush that ideological shit.
