Right-wing media outlet PragerU is known for its misleading viral videos that it has long created for teens and adults. The operation is increasingly seeking to reach children, hoping to fill the Sesame Street–sized hole left by the defunding of PBS.

    I just watched 30 seconds of two different videos on PragerU and I felt dirty.

    This shit is pure brainwashing propaganda hellbent on warping worldviews and controlling people.

    It’s disgusting.

    Do you remember when the right complained about indoctrination in the schools? Great times!

    That projection is real!

    Edit: Fucking auto correct!

    Matt Parker and Trey Stone need to make education animation to inform kids and adults, oh wait they already do, play South Park in the schools.

    If there is anyone at all who has not gone to their website at some point to see the things they put out (or image search for them) so you have an awareness, you really must do so.

    It would have been really great if more people knew project 2025 was real before it was too late, and more people need to see this before Trump turns it into the new Dept of Education or something.

    I haven’t even clicked the article above yet, and I can tell you from past experience that in my opinion, no matter how sincerely it might try to convey the comic book villany peddled from PragerU, the article in OP will not adequately do so. You need to expose yourself to some of their material to really get it.

    If you were going to choose a curriculum for your brownshirt boarding school, this would be it.

      So many people knew about it but refused to believe it was real. The denial was insane.

      Yeah, PU is so pernicious. I even wonder if the shit posts and memes made out of it help cover for how bad it really is for a certain audience who otherwise isn’t informed.
