Right-wing institution welcomed into Florida schools proudly boasts of 'indoctrinating' students
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has made his fight against the left-wing "indoctrination" of children one of his major rallying cries.
However, the Tampa Bay Times reports that PragerU , a right-wing institution whose learning materials are now being allowed for use in Florida schools, openly boasts that its goals are to indoctrinate young people.
In fact, PragerU's founder, right-wing talk show host Dennis Prager, openly admits in a promotional video that it's "fair" to say that his organization's goal is that indoctrination.
Prager also copped to indoctrinating students during a talk with the right-wing Moms for Liberty group earlier this year.

"It’s true we bring doctrines to children,” Prager said. "But what is the bad about our indoctrination?”
As an example of this indoctrination, the Tampa Bay Times points to a PragerU video in which explorer Christopher Columbus defends enslaving people on the grounds that "being taken as a slave is better than being killed."
That particular video could be particularly problematic for DeSantis, who has taken criticism from several Black Republicans for defending new school standards that argue slavery had some benefits for Black Americans, such as teaching them useful skills like blacksmithing that they could use after being emancipated after the Civil War.

DeSantis's war on ''woke'' and saving the children from left-wing indoctrination yet encouraging the right-wing indoctrination is A OK....
LOL, what a hypocritical moosh noosh.
Meanwhile, he can't draw over 30 people to a $1 beer rally in NH...
It's more evidence an anti-woke platform doesn't play nationally. DeSantis is going to lose his bid for the Presidency and then lose his Governor seat if he keeps this up.
If he is run out of the presidential race he will still be governor of Florida for 3 more years...But he just might be a very lame duck or ruptured duck for the remainder of his term as governor.
I think Dennis Prager needs a nap...after he burns all his materials
I think that he is already napping, it's called comatose, Trout.
I just can't seem to find the words to describe how this guy makes me feel. Impotent rage is the best I can do
It's better to mock him, Trout.
If you dont want to watch the whole thing, at the 9:20 mark Columbus starts talking about slavery.
This thing is an abomination.
Oh man making a rapist, slaver, and murderer a good guy. Unbelievable.
In the video, and elsewhere obviously, the argument is made that one culture cannot judge another. Our 21st century culture, for example, cannot judge the 15th and 16th century culture of Columbus and the conquistadors. Yet the cartoon Columbus judges the natives that he found in the west indies. They are cannibals, they are war like, they have heathen religions, etc.
Because he was a European explorer it is assumed he is superior to the natives, which is a judgement.
Prager U. is disgusting, but I was happy to see that their kids videos are reaching a limited audience. 32K views for this one , which is not much considering how well known Prager U is.
The whole idea just sickens me! How dare he admit to indoctrination then turn around and rant about CRT and liberal indoctrination! He's no better than the people he rants about which, frankly, is all in his head.
I really want want our resident assholes to defend this putrid, piece of trash, son of a bitch
Sadly that is true, JR.
It is because he is a hypocritical asshole, Trout. In other words a phony.
I wonder how much dough Prager takes in for himself as the head of "Prager U". I think it is basically a grift.
Here you go, JR.
Gee... a MAGA is incoherent. Wow. Golly...
I read that. He's a double putrid, piece of trash, son of a bitch
Not unusual.
And that's his up side, Trout.
LOL! I'd hate to see his downside LOL!
