Florida has been falsely accused of “book bans” for pulling graphic pornography and racism from schools. A Florida school district was sued for keeping, “All Boys Aren’t Blue”, which features lines such as “he reached his hand down and pulled out my d____”, away from kids.
The Biden administration claimed that it was “incomprehensible” that the DeSantis administration had rejected a black history AP course featuring the works of Amiri Baraka whose poems included lines such as “we are all beautiful (except white people, they are full of, and made of s__t)” and “Rape the white girls. Rape / their fathers. Cut the mothers’ throats.”
But now the Left has discovered educational materials in Florida schools that it wants to ban.
Outrage, condemnations, petitions and threats greeted the revelation that Florida had allowed schools to use PragerU materials if they wanted to. After months of accusing Florida of banning books, the media and leftist activists mounted a crusade to ban PragerU from schools.
NPR, which had attacked Florida for keeping graphic pornography and racism away from kids, breathlessly condemned the state’s educational system for potentially allowing videos which correctly state that “slavery was part of life all over the world” and that “the planet has been warming and cooling since prehistoric times”.
The show quoted a PTA president blustering, “I do not want my kids exposed to this – absolutely not.” while its reporter worried that “no Florida school district has yet announced plans to use PragerU Kids videos, but they can’t stop teachers from showing them, either.”
The leftists were for book bans before they were against them, and now are for them again.
After insisting that teachers should not be prevented from discussing their sex lives with kids or secretly transitioning them to the opposite sex, NPR is worried that there’s nothing to stop Florida educators from showing a video about American history.
Among those condemning the PragerU curriculum was the vice president of the Florida Freedom to Read project which had attacked schools for jettisoning ‘Lawn Boy’ which included lines such as, “I was ten years old, but it’s true. I put Doug Goble’s d___ in my mouth.”
Freedom to read means teaching kids about 10-year-old boys performing sex acts, but not that slavery was commonplace in the 19th century or that the climate has always been changing.
“Of all the PragerU propaganda you’ve seen, this might be the worst. Frederick Douglass takes a dig at BLM while praising the founding fathers as abolitionists and calling the Constitution a ‘glorious liberty document,”’ David Heath, a white former CNN reporter, agonized. “Florida is letting schools play this stuff.”
Florida is letting schools teach that the constitution is a “glorious liberty document”, but not provide 10-year-olds with sex manuals. What’s happening to our educational system?
In Tallahassee, black church leaders who, despite their alleged religiosity, are fine with pushing LGBTQ sex on kids, protested outside the state’s Department of Education.
The pastors accused Gov. DeSantis of “wickedness” and “dark work”, and complained that PragerU videos (correctly) “depicts the Founding Fathers as abolitionists” and “states white people led the effort to abolish slavery.”
The Rev. Dr. Joe Parramore (He/Him), who runs a “safe, LGBT welcoming and affirming ministry”, suggested that PragerU videos could lead to a cutoff in federal funding. “We cannot stand idly by and continue to allow the atrocities of a dictatorial leadership of a scared white nationalist DeSantis to inflict harm on the citizens and students of our state,” he ranted.
CAIR joined the attack by accusing PragerU of “Islamophobic tropes” over an old video of ex-Muslim activist Ayann Hirsi Ali who had been forced to flee Muslim death threats and the factual statement that “there is no moderate Islam.” That quote actually came from Turkey’s Islamist dictator who had argued, “Islam cannot be either ‘moderate’ or ‘not moderate. ‘ Islam can only be one thing.” And CAIR has certainly spent its existence proving that.
The final member of Florida’s anti-PragerU coalition was an unindicted co-conspirator in funding Hamas. As the Department of Justice noted, “the evidence at trial linked CAIR leaders to Hamas, a specially designated terrorist organization, and CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.” CAIR offers a guide for educators and no one objects to that because leftist educators prefer Hamas to PragerU.
While Florida has shown no signs of retreating from allowing teachers to use the PragerU curriculum (as they do supplemental materials from many other organizations), the New Hampshire Board of Ed postponed a vote on allowing a financial literacy course by PragerU on such controversial topics as how to read pay stubs and how compound interest works.
Radicals from Occupy New Hampshire Seacoast to the local AFT-NH teachers’ union rallied to oppose what even opponents admitted was “a non- or less-controversial course on financial literacy”. The Boston Globe weighed in without offering a specific criticism of the course materials.
The two Democrats running for governor, Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig and Executive Councilwoman Cinde Warmington, warred with each other to warn about the threat of PragerU.
Craig claimed that “PragerU does not reflect New Hampshire values” without clarifying how the educational group’s materials failed to align with the state’s motto of “live free or die”. The controversial mayor’s administration had previously approved COVID relief money to be spent on a high school drag show. That does reflect Craig’s version of New Hampshire values.
Warmington wildly warned that PragerU teaching students how to calculate their taxes would “undermine the bedrock of our democracy”. Democracy can’t survive if kids learn to add. That may explain why leftist public school systems have destroyed math education.
The attacks on PragerU are short on substance and heavy on alarmism. One podcast denounces it as “far-right” and a “right-wing propaganda machine” guilty of a “reactionary political agenda” and “a regressive vision of society”. All of this is a repetitive leftist way of saying that it’s conservative. None of the critiques of PragerU get any less hypocritical.
Leftists who are obsessed with indoctrinating students accuse PragerU of indoctrination. The same activists who claim to be fighting against book bans also want to ban PragerU.
According to teachers’ unions, the media and radical activists, racism, porn and terrorism belong in schools, but financial literacy and the constitution don’t.
Yeah, a fundamental part of the leftist program. Lenin tried it at first when he took power, but it was such a disaster that they changed directions.
Divert the attention of the youth to satisfying their animal desires when their hormones are raging so strongly that that’s all they can think of anyway. Get them entangled with the animal nature of other such fools. Anything to divert them from spirituality. Promise them fulfillment and Utopia from experiencing their animal nature. There was a popular movie called “Born Free” which promoted the virtues of the wilderness. Nothing said about nature red in tooth and claw.
“Born Free.” I saw that on TV when I was a kid and fell for that bullshit. But when I was five, I fell for “The Lorax,” So I was an easy target. All kids are. I even remember the dopey song “Born Free. As free as the wind blows.”
What a pile of shit.
And Joy Adamson was murdered by one of the usual suspects. But “m sure he was an animal lover……..
The new lefty spin is that Adamson had it coming because she was a mean racist who mistreated black workers.
Florida is a a far better sate then New York I mean the Citizens are all right but their Governor is a imbecilic the same with Illinois and my home state of California but the Sunshine State shows the way with their Stand your Grounds/Castle Doctrine and protecting Kids from Porn and leftists Brainwashing plus they arrested the Looters after the Hurricane
Florida is a whole lot better than New York and I say that as a lifelong New Yorker. Even visiting Florida from Califoria during the pandemic was a whole other world.
Muslim rape is called grooming
Homosexual rape is called grooming
My dog’s haircut is called grooming
They are terrified of children learning the truth, the question remains, are they scared of being found out or trying to implement communism?
Most likely both.
They want to change the rules so that grooming is considered empowerment. They’re most of the way there culturally.
Just some pesky laws need to be changed and they’re on it in California.
And as goes California, so goes the nation.
The whole world. Some good news though, I’ve met several young people this week who consider the woke stuff complete garbage and one, around 25 years old, even said that we have lost our values.
I have to notice that the Left doesn’t want to debate the facts. They just want Prayer U. to shut up. Was “slavery … part of life all over the world?” Indisputably. How do we knows? Ancient writings and the Bible, for example, discuss slaves and slavery. Has “the planet …been warming and cooling since prehistoric times?” Of course. For billions of years the earth has been doing so even to the extent there were one or more periods called “Snowball Earth” where almost the entire globe was encased in an ice sheath a mile thick. So what’s the problem? The Left is concerned that students knowing such objective fact might doubt their narratives of, for example, slavery being a uniquely white and American institution and the earth being “murdered” by human activity. In other words, learning such facts undermines the Left’s efforts to destroy America and, with it, Western Civilization.
The Left is an ideology so it isn’t interested in facts. Yet it claims that its ideology is expert and fact-based, rather than a belief system.
So it then claims that everyone who is opposed to it is against the facts and science, and must be silenced lest they spread deadly ‘misinformation’.
All of this is just passing off blasphemy rules under the guise of science.
I think this is the type of philosophy and challenge to the left’s automatic censor that the right needs to educate the general public. To offer something in this area and get it in the arena of public consciousness. The core element is there is never a philosophical challenge to their broad ideas or the actual mechanism of how, what and why the thought processes and failures of liberals are based from.
Because we never attack the conversation this way, the general public has no feeling for what the argument is about. They have no idea that it is about power. And you will never get them to understand this if we self censor and are able to get a broader public discusion going. That would take a Republican national party that is interested..
I have some disposable income after my final payment to crushing property & school taxes, so I’ll be contributing to Prager U.
I thought about giving to the Clinton Holyland Foundation, now that it’s on life-support, but decided against it. (Foreign enemies stopped contributing to that sham charity ever since the bitch lost in 2016. Sorry that you can no longer sell U.S. policy, Hillary . . . but you had a good run.)
What about the Biden Fund for Crack and Hooker Addicted Orphans?
It’s a good cause. Every penny you donate goes to a down payment on an electric sports car by way of China.
Rimshot! 🥁
(I’m still bewildered as to how these grifters aren’t being flogged in the public square.)
The left is terrified of any threat to its monopoly on values and revisionist history in public educAtion
Liberal indoctrinationists can deal in porn,in an attempt to pollute minds and circumvent parental authority, but they can’t handle the TRUTH…because the PragerU statements are beyond refuting. How dare they say slavery was (and STILL IS) a part of life all over the world and dilute the poison liberals spread.
It’s recently been estimated that approximately 40 Million slaves are currently under subjugation, and that doesn’t include the liberal definition of being in a dead-end job with a bad boss. We’re talking actual slavery here, with an estimated 24.9 Million in forced labor and 4.8 Million in forced sexual exploitation. The problem for the Marxist educator is that these facts put America in a better light…and they can’t tolerate that.
Long before there was accurate meteorological equipment, there were writers with pen and paper documenting changing weather patterns. During Europe’s Little Ice Age (14th century to mid 19th century), proxy records such as lake sediment, tree rings and core samples proved the earth was in a cooling phase, with large glacial growth. These facts are indisputable, with copious eye witness reports and findings. The problem with this information for Marxist educators and governments is that is promises to thwart their control mechanics via an unjustifiable threat and fully expose their underlying intentions. Pity, that.
The Left derives much of its power from the false claims, e.g. Obama, 1619 Project, that American slavery was a unique sin that can only be explained by our evil racism
The more it has to confront the persistence of slavery by those it considers ‘people of color’, its justification for seizing power collapses
So discussing it is a deadly threat to its DEI complex
It’s pretty clear that there are two (at least) ‘civilisations’ existing side by side with one another in the USA and certain European countries. This co-existence cannot continue. One must go, and the only way that one will disappear is for that party to be forcibly removed – or forced into submission. To the natural man this means war (civil), and the eradication of the opposing group that seeks to impose its perversity on the more civilised. To the spiritual man this means awaiting the City having real foundations, which, to its King, every knee shall bend.
The lower civilization has the advantage that even if they are defeated, remnants still remain, and will come back at a later time. The higher civilization has the disadvantage that once defeated their civilization can’t be restored. That may be why there are so many higher civilizations who were destroyed by lower civilizations.
just remember how the gutter level media were under Clinton and his designating Wild & Scenic River or National Monument those suckers fell all over themselves with gushing and praising Clintons Abuse of Power the same way they did for Obama and now Biden the M.S. Media are medias Lackys, Minions and Sidekicks of the Democrats
Leftists’ heads are exploding over PragerU because PragerU videos state facts and don’t buy into all this ideological nonsense. For that, they are called “right-wing extremist”. One more example of the deep-seated hypocrisy of the Left – don’t ban books, oh but ban these ones.
I have watched dozens of PragerU videos and I have yet to find a single falsehood in any of them. Yet, people who have never watched them (like some of my friends) just refuse to because they say they “don’t watch propaganda stuff”. (They don’t realize they’ve already been brainwashed by the Leftist propaganda!)
The Left loves banning books.
It also loves accusing its enemies of its own crimes.
They love BURNING books.
In the Book, Soul On Ice by Eldridge Cleaver he writes to rape a white man is a political act, not a woman but a man, that tells me who and what he is.
That Book came out in the 1960s when his gang The Black Panthers were riding high, a gang of thugs very similar to the KKK and The Left and it was white Liberals who embraced the Panthers as some kind of freedom fighters when in fact they were angry men that cant clean up their our neighborhood or take care of their own families.
Its not surprising that the left promotes porn, immorality, lawlessness, and depravity. These things tear down a society. Theres no guidance to youth, who are the future. Its good we have Prager U setting a good example.
