PragerU’s ‘Propaganda’ Videos Infiltrate Another State’s Classrooms
Daily Beast ^ | 9/5/23 | Josh Fialio

Posted on 09/05/2023 4:09:38 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Following in Florida’s footsteps, Oklahoma’s anti-woke-obsessed education boss announced Tuesday that the state had become the second to welcome right-wing “PragerU Kids” instructional material into its classrooms statewide.

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, who has made a name for himself by declaring that race was not a factor in the Tulsa Race Massacre, wrote in a statement that he was “thrilled” to announce a partnership with PragerU, claiming it will “ensure high quality materials rich in American history and values” to Oklahomans.

Despite its name, PragerU is not an accredited academic institution. It’s an uber-conservative advocacy group that’s become infamous for its videos that opine on hot-button cultural issues and historical events, regularly stirring up controversy since it was founded in 2009 by the conservative radio host Dennis Prager.

If they didn’t push “woke” nonsense there wouldn’t be an “anti-woke” reaction.

PragerU materials are more factually accurate than any of the dreck produce by the discredited 1619 Project.

The pearl-clutching hysteric who wrote this pathetic hit piece conveniently overlooked the fact that the 1619 Project, and the Pulitzer Center that pushed it, aren’t accredited, either.

Just noticed the article called it “Tulsa race massacre”
When I was a kid it was called the “Tulsa Race riot”. Nice newspeak attempt, though.

As opposed to all of the intentional, far left-wing indoctrination that has been going on in the schools? Can we find any articles from this writer condemning that? Or is sexualizing children and foisting false information such as the 1619 Project just “impartial education” to him?

I have found Prager to be rational and factual.

Of course rational and factual are anathema to the Left.

More accurately called the Tulsa Race War.

It started when a group of blacks opened fire with rifles into a crowd of whites. The blacks lost the conflict they initiated.
