Left-wing activists have long had a stranglehold on institutional education across the United States.
Their goal is to use their influence in these organizations to indoctrinate every child in America.
But PragerU is now making gains in the educational culture war through this major partnership.
PragerU promotes “American Values” amid rise of “dominant left-wing ideology”
American education has been taken over by radical ideologues who hope to push gender bending ideas on unsuspecting children.
While the effort is not new to American classrooms, the groups have become more outspoken in recent years.
Parents are tired of it and some groups are beginning to offer alternative curriculums to homeschooling parents.
PragerU has made a name for itself by promoting “American values” and opposing “dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education.”
According to their website, they do this through “creative use of educational videos that reach millions of people online.”
“Whether you’re searching for a deeper understanding, a new perspective, or a way to get involved, PragerU helps people of all ages think and live better,” the website reads.
Now PragerU is making a major headway in the public school system.
Oklahoma becomes the second state to offer PragerU curriculum to students in public schools
Oklahoma recently became one of the first states to begin working with PragerU to provide a new source of curriculum for schools.
Department of Education officials in the conservative state recently approved a new “engaging, educationally sound, and classroom-friendly” social studies curriculum.
“This expansion of our available resources will help ensure high-quality materials rich in American history and values,” State Superintendent Ryan Walters said.
According to Walters, state officials “will work together to find ways for PragerU to create content that will enrich the education of Oklahoma students.”
PragerU will provide Oklahoma students with coursework focused on “traditional American values that inspire self-reliance, patriotism, and resiliency.”
“We are proud to announce that PragerU Kids will have an ongoing educational partnership with the state of Oklahoma,” the group said in a statement.
“Now, many more American students will have the opportunity to learn from PragerU’s wholesome, patriotic, and age-appropriate content,” the statement continued.
Oklahoma joins Florida as the second state to openly endorse materials provided by PragerU.
Florida’s optional curriculum has faced pushback by left-wing activist groups
Florida added it as supplementary materials this summer, but won’t be requiring educators to use them.
“The Florida Department of Education reviewed PragerU kids and determined the material aligns to Florida’s revised civic and government standards,” a Florida DOE official said.
“PragerU Kids is no different than many other resources, which can be used as supplemental materials in Florida schools at district discretion,” the official added.
The move by the Florida DOE angered activists who described the group as a “partisan advocacy media company” that pushes conservative values.
Leadership for the League of Women Voters of Sarasota (LWVS) said they believe that “most parents and voters would be hard-pressed to ignore the hypocrisy on display because PragerU videos are created for the purpose of indoctrination.”
LWVS representatives have urged parents to remove their children from any classroom lessons that use the “unsubstantiated curriculum.”
