    FYI, the article title is responsible for calling PragerU a “University”, not me!

    Despite the name, PragerU is not an academic institution and does not hold classes, does not grant certifications or diplomas, and is not accredited by any recognized body.

    Holy fucking shit, I thought they were just blowing it out of proportion but then I saw the two linked videos.

    Goddamn that’s so fucked up. Don’t even know what else to say…

      My favorite bit is “Better to be a slave than dead, no?” Ummm… actually, yes, death may be preferable

    That moment when your kids would get a better understanding of history by staying at home watching Animaniacs than going to school.

    Sounds like somebody is volunteering for being put in a work camp. 🤭

      Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no?

      Normal stuff to teach children for sure.

    Incredibly troubling this is approved to be taught to children. I think we can all agree horrible it is that Japan has consistently denied the atrocities they committed during WW2. Let’s do better.

    First step is to make sure the next generations understand what NOT to do.

      It’s not approved by any educational authority. Prager “U” is a university in name only. It’s a conservative and religious propaganda mill. The educational content of their propaganda is minimal at best, but is typically misinformation.

        Florida approves PragerU’s conservative ‘curriculum’ to be used in schools

        It’s certainly not a degree-granting university, but they’re finding their way into education.

    PragerU really just loves to be a bottom of the barrel political platform, doesn’t it?

    Ok! What’s the next step from PragerU? Teaching kids that the Nazis wasn’t bad people and telling that the Holocaust allegations are lies?

      They posted a video 7 years or so ago about how great nationalism is. They even claimed that Ghandi and MLK were nationalists while attempting to change the definition of nationalism. It was like watching a nazi propaganda film.

    Reminds me of the one time I had to watch OAN while visiting someone and they ran an interstitial in place of an ad that was all about how black people should be grateful for slavery or they wouldn’t exist
