PragerU videos assigned in an Ohio classroom; wing nuttery coming to a school near you

An Ohio public school has been giving students extra credit for watching videos from PragerU, a right-wing website that produces clips of talking heads such as Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro discussing conservative viewpoints, HuffPost has learned.

The videos feature such awesome topics such as: “Build the Wall,” “Why the Right Was Right” and “The Left Ruins Everything.” A more in depth look at the wing nuts’ website also shows videos about: “Conservatives Are the Real Environmentalists,” “The Ferguson Lie,” “There Is No Gender Wage Gap,” “How to Steal an Election: Mail-In Ballots,” and “Is Islam a Religion of Peace?”

PragerU has also launched a program they hope other public schools across the nation will adopt called, Educators and Parents, or PREP.

PragerU started the PREP program in response to COVID-19-related school shutdowns, which “forced us to take a closer look at what is being taught and not taught across the country,” said Adrienne Johnson, PragerU’s chief of staff and lead of the PREP platform, in a video interview with conservative news channel One America News Network. “America is not being fairly portrayed. Many schools are implementing anti-racist Black Lives Matter curriculum and The 1619 Project.”
