Florida approves conservative group PragerU’s content for classroom use

Not surprised. Prager U has been gunning for their propaganda becoming official school curricula for years. It was obvious from the start with their bad info-graphics style and the fact they have been pushing their channel on children for years with the help of YouTube's algorithm. Fascists aren't satisfied with keeping their politics to themselves, they want to forcefully indoctrinate your children behind your back in the classroom.

It's time parents push back. Teachers need to strike. Students need to strike. Parents need to demand en-masse that this be removed from the curriculum or they will remove their children from the school. This is unacceptable.

Over the next 10 years it will be increasingly difficult for young Floridians to qualify for hire in jobs outside of Florida as their lack of educational qualifications become apparent.
So, if propaganda comes from the other side of the political aisle, which it does all the time in public school curriculums, would you be just as upset over it? I’m not agreeing with Pragers agenda either but when parents rally against terrible ideas being "pushed" onto their kids from the left wing loonies, they get called terrorists and trouble makers. Stuff like drag queen hour at an elementary school is supposed to NOT also be an agenda? Cmon. Please.
How about we keep ALL politics, agendas, propaganda and other crap like that out of classrooms and get back to teaching kids useful things like reading, writing and arithmetic? Dump the heavy social activism crap. Stay out of that stuff entirely. Just teach the basics.
- Found a fascist!
- I found the "Mom for Liberty"
- Drag Reads are not part of the curriculum, they are optional extra curricular activities. Try again.
- Blocked. We're not here to debate our right to exist. Your agenda is genocide and it's right to inoculate children against your fascist brainworms. Go buttchug Mr. Ed's Miracle Paste in someone else's comments.
- No one’s using an IWW-created curriculum, so I don’t know what “left-wing loonies” you’re talking about. You’re is comparing center-left “don’t be mean to brown people because they’re people” to PragerU’s fascist content. Do right wing nutjobs just not know how far out they are for “both sides” comparison?

Just for the record - I feel I have to mention that the history "education" I received under the fucking Apartheid-regime managed to be marginally better than the garbage you get from PragerU.

whatever happened to a parents choice over what their kid is taught? oh right they were being hypocritical once again.

DeSantis also signed a huge voucher expansion, so parents can choose to take their kids somewhere else if they don't like what's taught at their local school. Here's more info about school choice in Florida.
I don't live there, so I can't give any practical experience with it, but I do send my kid to a tax-funded charter school because our local school sucked at the time (has since improved, probably because so many in my area opted out of the local school and they changed the leadership).
If I lived in Florida, I would strongly consider moving my kids to a different school if I disagreed with the curriculum. But I'd need to inspect the curriculum first.

I've watched one of their videos before on why all of Israel rightfully belonged to the Jews and almost had to vomit that they deign to call themselves a university at all.

I feel like that is too on the nose. Prague U and related media is just propaganda and alternative history. I suppose some of it is close to what is already being taught for some parts of US history.

Sad. You could just get rid of schools instead of this farce.

That serves the fascists' interests, too!
Maybe just get rid of the people pushing this garbage. I feel like we probably want the kids to learn how not to make our mistakes.

Are you fuckin' kidding me Florida?

Clown world.

I just got a place in Florida in order to have something to do after work when the weather sucks in Wyoming. It's naturally nice here and I hope liberals don't give up and let the fascists have it without a fight. At the moment this place is hostile to people with a uterus, people who aren't CIS-gender, black people (latin seems to be fine), and children. In fact, the state is most hostile to children.

Maybe move to Canada, it should have Georgias weather in the few years 😔
