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.
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 love the lemmy doesn't engage with this type of stuff. Typically on Reddit you see just a wall of arguments back and forth so refreshing to see lemmy just call it out and recognize that arguing has no benefit.
