Jesus fucking Christ. They spew objectively wrong nonsense in an attempt to brainwash vulnerable people.

Reminder that PragerU made a video defending slavery.

Their adverts on YouTube are equally vile.

Religion has taught us you gotta indoctrinate the kids to grow the cult.

The nazi's started the hitler youth org the 1920's to perform the same function.

Though not surprising.

Oklahoma is the only state in America without any blue counties. In the 2020 election, every county was red for every single race. The state sucks and I feel bad for the blue voters in it.

Funneling public money to a bunch of grifters.

Florida is also using this crap in their schools.

LOL, I mean I have to laugh so I don't cry. We're won't get over the damage the Republicans have done, and continue to do, in my lifetime.
