Is Conservative Indoctrination Becoming a Problem In Our Schools?

[iamwhatiseem]

Do you have a specific examples of what is so “dangerous” coming from PragerU?

It is in the context.
Everything that is anti-crazy - against lunatic progressive insanity to this guy is "dangerous".

 

[Ethel2]

Odd, all I see is Dem/lib/progressive and gay/trans indoctrination.

Then you have vision problems

Where was the left’s concern for political bias and propaganda in the classroom when it was the 1619 Project being shoved down kids’ throats?

A liberal indoctrination is not only acceptable but encouraged. A young mind is only so big. Clearly there no room for a conservative viewpoint.

So-called liberal indoctrination is not mandated by the state. Conservative indoctrination is, even prohibiting certain ideas and books from being shared. That's how tyrants do it.

LOL.. this is the kind of education that has the left freaking out...

No, it's the cartoon books describing boys performing fellatio on each other, and girls using strapons.

The only “irony” is that MAGATS deny there’s a problem with conservatives sticking their unwanted noses where they don’t belong

 

[NatMorton]

This might be a good thread to remind everyone of the left’s attempts to bring Critical Race Theory principles into the classroom with something called A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction. The framework asserted, among other gems, that it insisting on correct answers to math problems was a form of white supremacy.

If memory serves, the framework was used in Origen and was the model for a proposed (possibly enacted) program in CA.

Do you have a specific examples of what is so “dangerous” coming from PragerU?

Do you have a specific example of PagerU being a university?

"Despite having “U” in the name, PragerU is not a university.

It’s a media company founded by conservative radio host Dennis Prager, aimed at reaching Gen Z audiences with videos that present, in its words, “a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education.”

PragerU has become best-known for its “5-Minute Videos,” a series of shorts on political and social issues, geared toward teenagers and college-aged students. The clips—which include titles such as “Social Justice Isn’t Justice,” “Are Some Cultures Better Than Others?,” “Make Men Masculine Again,” and “Income Inequality Is Good”—often feature prominent conservative pundits and media personalities. Those include both establishment conservative voices and those associated with the party’s more extreme wing. Robert George, George Will, Candace Owens, Christopher Rufo, and Dinesh D’Souza all make appearances."

Good Lord, learning history from the likes of Candice Owens!

Over the years, PragerU has pushes opinion as fact. Also, many “facts” are often incorrect or misleading. I don’t believe that it is accredited for education as well.

If you want to view PragerU as an opposite opinion go for it. But for folks outside of school. PragerU has no educational value.

They often teach a revisionist history that is often debunked by actual historians. The history that they teach often reminds me of YouTube channels where conservative “historical experts” try to tell us “how it is” only to find out that they aren’t experts at all and have a degree in dentistry…

That is a supplemental package, not meant to replace curriculum, and no politicians mandated it be taught.

 

[NatMorton]

No, it's the cartoon books describing boys performing fellatio on each other, and girls using strapons.

My lone suspension on this site was the result of doing nothing more than posting the image of one page from the book Gender Queer. It was the strap-on, fellatio panel, and the mods deemed it pornographic.

(It’s a fair cop).

I’d need to see the details, but I don’t see anything wrong with the subject lines you’ve posted.

This is well put:

"The idea of multiple perspectives is a cornerstone of social studies teaching practice in K-12 schools. Teachers often provide students with different primary sources that chronicle the same event, or ask students to compare the historical interpretation in two different secondary sources. The goal is to encourage children to evaluate the sources critically, guide them on how to ask good historical questions, and teach children that different people have different points of view, which influence how they understand and evaluate the world around them.

But Zimmerman says PragerU videos are not a vehicle for achieving those goals.

“The things I’ve seen, both about slavery and climate science, are radically distorted and not based in evidence the way that universities understand that term,” he said. If teachers want to counter what they see as left-leaning bias in the curriculum, “there are any number of much more credible sources that one could use to balance the equation,” he said.

“This isn’t a solution; it’s cynicism. It is distressing and destructive. And I say that as someone who has sometimes been critical of liberal bias in schools and universities,” Zimmerman said.

All social studies sources come with some kind of perspective, said Hartman. “The difference [with PragerU] is the explicit right-wing political agenda, but selling that as kind of neutral or objective,” he said."

You're OK with Candice Ownens being an expert on a topic being taught to kids?

 

[LouC]

I voted OTHER.

I don't think teaching Conservatism as it really is would be any problem in our schools.

However, I am certain that the teaching interferences of MAGATISM and or modern Republicanism in our schools are dangerous to the extreme.

Depends on the subject.

I won’t get into a specifics, but a well known media member (whose name you’d probably recognize) donated her time at my kids’ middle school and gave a public speaking class. My now adult daughter still says that was one of the best classes she’s ever taken, grade school or college.

Not really talking about teaching public speaking.

Is Conservative Indoctrination Becoming a Problem In Our Schools?​

Yes. Especially in regards to banning library books and selective sex education.

Conservatives also want to bring religion (Christian of course) into the schools.

amen, all schools should be christian schools, none secular

as christian Prophecy believers we believe this to be the Future trend for the whole world during the Millennium.

stay tuned.

LOL.. this is the kind of education that has the left freaking out...

that's cause the department of education has an End Game of dumbing the kids down for the nannie state.

Conservative indoctrination in public schools has always been a major issue, especially in the South. Just look at their unit on the 'War of Northern Aggression.'

we should have been 2 countries and let the South secede from the union.

after that let the mid west go and then the west. then we wouldn't be the military arm for the fascist world order.

could still happen, write your dee cee criminal and encourage this.

thanks.

[Gardener]

Now, how on earth are woke schools expected to turn little boys into little schools with all that subversive indoctrination telling them they are boys, instead?

Next thing you know, the extremists will be telling the black children that they are not victims of the poor white kids.

'Extreme and dangerous': Educators oppose PragerU partnership in South Carolina schools

abcnews4.com

PragerU has been lobbying red states for inclusion into the curriculum and finding some success in red states. This is concerning to all people who wish their kids receive an education in their school.

PragerU is not a university, it is a YouTube channel that pushes conservative propaganda. It has no place in the classroom, as an educational resource

What's the dangerous stuff that they're trying to include?

 

[maxparrish]

So-called liberal indoctrination is not mandated by the state. Conservative indoctrination is, even prohibiting certain ideas and books from being shared. That's how tyrants do it.

Sure liberal indoctrination is mandated, in many states and by many school boards. In California, for example, all curriculum is set by the state, including the requirement for all students to take ethnic studies that teach a liberal or left point of view. It CERTAINLY isn't conservative.

Critical Race-Based California Ethnic Studies Curriculum Passes State Board of Education Vote

Critical Race Theory, together with far leftist ideological hostility, is being injected deep into public education in the largest state.

It would be preposterous for a political forum to ban me for citing a political speech given in the congress of the United States, wouldn't it?

we should have been 2 countries and let the South secede from the union.

Only once the South released all slaves and allowed them passage to the North. Once that was accomplished, the ass-backwards South should've been allowed to leave. That or do the Civil War and actually go through with Reconstruction from beginning to end.
