Per the article:

Critics say PragerU lessons distort history and facts to serve a conservative worldview. Some scientists have said PragerU videos lack context and downplay climate change as climate alarmism, while the Council on American-Islamic Relations alleges some videos are anti-Muslim. Other complaints center on the nonprofit’s portrayal of slavery.

PragerU is literally paid by billionaires to push their far-right science denial

      Schools don’t teach you how to dissect propaganda because they don’t want you dissecting the propaganda they already teach.

        I’ve never seen so many people miss the point. Schools should teach people to dissect propaganda. They should teach how propaganda uses fallacies and preys on anger. Geez.

          Sure. The state isn’t going to do that though, because it wants kids to obey first and believe in human rights (with a deliberately vague understanding of such) and democracy (managed) second.
