MIAMI – The Florida Department of Education has approved a series of educational materials from a conservative group for use in classrooms across the state.

On its website and in its 2023 Biannual Report, PragerU, founded by conservative talk radio host Dennis Prager, showcases content framed through the lens of conservative pundits, conservative activists, and Republican National Committee members.

The Florida Department of Education says it has “reviewed PragerU Kids and determined the material aligns to Florida’s revised civics and government standards. PragerU Kids is no different than many other resources, which can be used as supplemental materials in Florida schools at district discretion. PragerU Kids did not submit a bid to be included in the 2022-23 instructional materials adoption for social studies. The list of adopted materials is available on the Instructional Materials page of the Department’s website.”

On its website, PragerU Kids defines itself as “Teaching American Values,” adding “Woke agendas are infiltrating classrooms, culture, and social media.”

In a video posted to the Moms for Liberty YouTube Channel from the group’s July “Joyful Warriors National Summit” conference in Philadelphia, Prager shared with the group a conversation he said he had with demonstrators on his way into the event: “I really wanted to hear what evidence do you have that I am despicable? And all I heard was, ‘Well, because you indoctrinate kids.’ Which is true. We bring doctrines to children. That is a very fair statement. I said, ‘But what is the bad of our indoctrination?’”

For using their first amendment rights to destroy liberty and Justice, regardless of the ensuing death and destruction. Conservatives will do nothing to harm America. People who object to us must be dealt with. It’s in the constitution.
