Is PragerU a Danger to Your Children? The Left Certainly Thinks So

The Epoch Times Header

Given the leftโ€™s utter dominance of the educational system, why would showing a few five-minute PragerU videos get them so riled up?

Since Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Montana, and Arizona announced that PragerU material could be shown to their students, virtually every major publication in the country from the New York Times to the Los Angeles Times, from Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, plus local newspapers in the states just listed have condemned PragerU.

Are their condemnations valid? Well, that depends.

If your educational objective is to convince students that American history is something they should be ashamed of, then the answer is yes. And that, of course, is the leftโ€™s objective.

If your educational objective is to convince students that American history is something they should be proud of, then, the answer is no. And that is PragerUโ€™s objective.

The left has its agenda. We have ours. We accept that. We stand for everything they oppose.

But we do have a few questions.

Given the leftโ€™s utter dominance of the educational system, why would showing a few five-minute PragerU videos get them so riled up? Why donโ€™t they just shrug us off, especially since teachers arenโ€™t required to show the videos? How could a few PragerU videos do as much damage as they claim?

No one who has written about this controversy has asked these questions, let alone tried to answer them. So let me do so now.

Any material that contradicts the leftโ€™s narrative cannot be permitted. Everything depends on that rule. And why is that? Because their arguments donโ€™t stand up to scrutiny, even five minutes worth.

Their hold on our childrenโ€™s minds is that fragile. And they know it.

Since we began PragerU, we have said that watching just one of our videos could turn around a curious young mind. Even though we have lots of evidence to back this up, it was us saying it. Now the left is saying it!

Donโ€™t let PragerU videos into the classroom, they say, because students might start (gasp!) loving America instead of hating it. And besides, they say, PragerUโ€˜s version of American history is not true. Itโ€™s all made up.
