Sure I agree. Did the article provide evidence of that? Or did it take that as a premise? It also isn't saying anything anything that is unique about PragerU, except that the materials can be shown in Florida schools. A ton of shitty propaganda can be shown in Florida as well as other states. I'm pretty sure that PragerU material can be shown in most states schools, but if there is an example of a state that doesn't allowed PragerU I'd love to see how they word it.

    "Can be shown" and "included in curriculum" are a bit different. And yeah, if you're around my age and American, you probably learned that Christopher Columbus discovered America and did nothing else. We should be against all of that bullshit, not talking about whatever other misinfo is still kicking around the school system as if that's justification to ADD MORE PROPAGANDA.

    Well the fact that PragerU is having "the alarm sounded" seems more like a think piece on "Florida bad" without the context of the greater US included. As if PragerU and Florida are 100% unique situations.
