A grifter’s curriculum is coming to Florida

One of modern conservatism’s most pathetic hustlers finally found a sucker who will accept his grift:

According to the press release, “In the past, teachers have been disciplined — even fired — for showing PragerU videos in their classrooms. Now, PragerU videos are not only being allowed in classrooms, but superintendents and education commissioners are actively encouraging teachers to use PragerU’s content to educate their students…. PragerU supplemental curriculum offers an easy, cutting-edge way to teach core knowledge in subjects ranging from civics and history to entrepreneurship and financial literacy.”

Behold, in a handful of pulchritudinous sentences, the conservative pathology: illiteracy as self-development; self-pity as a species of martyrdom. With Florida taxpayers as victims, the DeSantis administration wants to contaminate young minds with free market crap overseen by a dead-eyed walking thumb like DeSantis and doggerel about the effeminacy of American men. Floridians got a taste of the menu last week when we learned that slavery taught its, to use a solecism, shareholders how to change car oil, bake fruitcakes, and use Excel,

Although a spokesperson assures us that districts can use PragerU agitprop as “supplemental materials in Florida schools” at their discretion, to learn that this garbage aligns with Department of Education curricula should worry parents.
