@GlitterEater And of course you buy into anything pmsnbc says, right?

@sunsporter1649 I don't even know what that is.

PragerU Curriculum Teaches That Frederick Douglass Agreed That Slavery Was A Necessary Evil

It can not be emphasized enough that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his state’s board of miseducation are waging a war on Black studies that goes far beyond standards that require teaching that enslaved people benefited from slavery. In fact, it’s more than just a war on Black history, or even a war on what white people call “wokeness.” Florida is engaged in a war where its goal is to implement right-wing indoctrination (or what Black people call “white supremacy”) in schools—and they’re doing so while blindly and hypocritically characterizing every idea that doesn’t fit into their narrow, ultra-conservative bubble as “indoctrination.”


Last month, we reported that Florida officials selected PragerU—an unaccredited conservative non-profit organization—to provide classroom materials to Florida schools.

Here’s what we reported about PragerU’s founder, Dennis Prager:

Prager once claimed falsely and without evidence that Black students commit the “overwhelming” majority of on-campus hate crimes and that if any racist and/or anti-Black graffiti is found on campuses “it was Black kids that did it” as a race hoax.

Prager also appears to be very upset that white people can’t use anti-Black racial slurs anymore.

“How many names have Blacks gone through in my lifetime?…What was wrong with Negro? What was wrong with colored? None of them, there’s no problem with any of them,” Prager once whitesplained on his talk show, according to NY Daily News.

He also told a caller on his show that “the left has made it impossible to say the N-word any longer” and that “is idiotic that you cannot say the N-word.” (This was his justification for using “the k-word” in reference to Jewish people, by the way.)

Now that you have an idea of what kind of man the people in charge of educating Florida chose to accept “educational” materials from, it won’t surprise you that PragerU is reaching deep into its caucasity bag to whitewash Frederick Douglass and America’s choice to prioritize white supremacy over ending slavery.

@JSul3 And that load of bullschiff from a yale college supporter. Amusing

@sunsporter1649 Would you accept it if he had been a Harvard grad?

Desantis was the one who said blacks learned skills from being a slave.
Pubic U...sorry, Prager U is trying to 'whitewash' history.

@JSul3 Keep supporting yale, your woke bullschiff ain't cutting it anymore

@sunsporter1649 I support higher education.
What level of education do you support?

@JSul3 You support higher eddukation from a slaveholder. Amusing

@sunsporter1649 What are you drinking today?

@sunsporter1649 Your spelling skills need work.

@JSul3 DeSantis first went to Yale, and only because he got a full ride sports scholarship. He, even then, noted he was curating the perfect CV. He was never a SEAL, never in combat, by the way.

And yes, it clearly states in PragerU's curriculum - not in DeSantis's speeches - that slaves learned valuable skills.
