Prager U is infiltrating schools as early as elementary school

[OneGrassRoot]

Please be on alert for your kids and grandkids, as young as elementary age, being exposed to Prager U propaganda. They see themselves as countering the "woke" agenda and they've been almost stealthily becoming part of the school curriculum, especially in red states or purple states where the GOP controls the legislative branch, like here in NC. I was shocked to learn of this recently. Private schools, charter schools and even in some public schools that are in solid red areas are using their content.

I know a family whose second grader was shocked when he came home spouting pro-Trump BS. They assumed a child from a MAGA family was the source but it turns out they've been showing Prager U videos in school.

1. I got my first exposure to them back around 2015

when a relative posted a Prager U video bemoaning political correctness. It was quite a surprise to me that this particular person posted it. It was a view I knew existed in another family branch but not this one.

2. The seemingly "rational" conservatives in my sphere started sharing it a while ago too...

Of course, they're the same people who now say, "I don't like the man personally but..." yet are hardcore MAGA. White Christian Nationalists is an applicable label for them too.

3. I always get Prager mixed up with Bob Proctor

4. As an aside, Snake Oil Salesman is an incredibly fun card/board game!

It's super easy to learn, it moves really fast, a lot of people can play, & it's hilarious! If you're a good bullshitter or if you're really creative, you'll do well. I keep it in my car for on-the-fly fun.
