PragerU, the right-wing propaganda manufacturing unit founder by talk-radio host Dennis Prager, claims {that a} current sequence of cartoons it produced to no notable curiosity is now headed to Texas’s college system. Texas’s college system, nevertheless, did not get the memo, and was compelled to disclaim the declare.
“We’re proud to announce that PragerU is an authorized schooling vendor within the state of Texas,” the nonprofit posted on its web site, including that “youngsters in hundreds of Ok-12 Texas faculties now have the chance to study from PragerU’s healthful, patriotic, and age-appropriate content material.” The put up accompanies a four-minute video of PragerU CEO Marissa Streit and Texas State Board of Training member Julie Pickren celebrating the announcement collectively.
Texas schooling officers, nevertheless, say that PragerU, a media concern based in 2009 by conservative pundit Dennis Prager, has not been authorized as a state vendor.
“I’ve no information of PragerU submitting any tutorial materials for approval to the SBOE up to now, and particularly, I do know that PragerU has not submitted any tutorial supplies to the SBOE below the brand new Educational Materials overview course of that was adopted by the legislature this yr. Moreover, nobody from PragerU has introduced to the State Board of Training or has contacted me, as chair of the State Board of Training, to debate any working relationship,” Kevin Ellis, the State Board of Training chair, advised ABC 13.
The state of affairs seems to be that PragerU and that Texas Board of Training member have introduced the success of their coup earlier than trying the coup. That does not imply the coup will not occur, simply that these concerned in it are silly.
One state has authorized PragerU as an official state useful resource, although. With out leaving this web page, are you able to guess which state it’s?
