It's really just common sense. If someone ... trump, or anyone, wants you to believe what they believe, instead of you using your brain to investigate, .... that is authoritarianism. They tell us we are top of the animal heap, with our brains, ... then they don't want you to think?! Propaganda is no fun. Curiosity is fun -- investigating is fun.
I have NPR on my car radio, so I listen every day. My kids were raised on PBS: Sesame Street, Free To Be You and Me, The Electric Company, and then, Mr. Rogers, to calm down after the frenetic action. It was a good education after school, with Fred Rodgers, teaching them empathy, to be kind.
Omg! I’ve never heard of PU, or Dennis Prager, until reading this article. Hey Qasim-you ain’t kidding! I checked out their website to find the CEO of PU, Melissa Streit, is former IDF and spreads lies about Netanyahu and Gaza also. 🤮
I subscribed to the Prager U email updates and they are just peppered with bone chilling pseudo facts and opinions that, quite frankly need to be called out in public just like BAE suggests. I feel like we are living through the story, 'The Emperors New Clothes' when is someone going to point out that this administration is buck naked??
Mainstream media should be showing Prager U videos, they are appalling!!!!! Show them, show people what will be shown to their kids and part of their curriculum because a porn watching hypocrite Republican with Trump derangement syndrome wants it as part of the curriculum. The same Superintendent who wanted to show a video in the morning of him praying for Trump!
Stopping Trump would have been possible if “liberal” Democrats had stopped Biden’s support of a genocide AND the Zionist machine that seems to run this country.
Sadly, this includes NPR and PBS, whose coverage of Gaza’s destruction, and now, complete (illegal) occupation, relied on Israeli talking points (lies) until only recently. We now live in a Zio-Fascist nation.
My junior in high school grandson asked me yesterday if I'd heard of Prager U and if I knew it was exactly what you've described. I told him I did know about it and was worried about how it was infiltrating schools. We are reading 1984 together now.
My daughter told me about Ground News last year during the election. I have a Premium subscription now. Do you know if that cost can be applied to a Vantage subscription?

Sigh there needs to be a law about using the word “university” in a name. I’ve seen laws goes through about what can be called a “camp” in that the program or organization much registers as a camp.. you can’t just claim it’s a camp if you’re a church or some other entity. You must register yourself as one like the Scouts of America or Girl Scouts.
Without true education, and that's where we're headed, humanity is sunk. Every time I hear a MAGA talk about someone's sex assigned at birth (m or f), I think of a woman I met once and spent quite some time talking to. Her sex at birth was b, both. Is there any hope at all, especially without an open-minded educational system, that all people will come to understand diversity--to accept that it exists, and always has. There is room on the Earth for everyone.
There's a book by a Canadian author which I read about thirty years ago. For a time in Canada, they turned every hermaphodite into a female (obviously because it was easier). The contention was that "gender isn't established until a child starts puberty," and children "learn" what sex to be! Pathetic!!!! When these poor children learned to use a toilet, many naturally stood to pee. As they got older, the ones who were male in female bodies didn't mature the same way and had an awful time in society, knowing they were not the gender that had been assigned. I tried to find it online, but all it showed were contemporary hits. This book was written in the 80s.
This woman had physical characteristics both male and female, though she felt female, and was being treated by an endocrinologist. Imagine the cruelty she experienced as a kid, which she told me about. I bumped into her a few years later and she was BEAUTIFUL! Let's hear it for great docs! If people would only bother to KNOW--know people, know information.
My Houston paper exposed two people running for City Council. Both had the same advertising because it was written by AI. One person is saying that the other copied her advertising but, neither of them expressed their own reason for running and what they would do in office — some robot did it for them. At least we know for sure that they are la y!
In Oklahoma they are requiring teachers from NY & California to pass this America First certification to prove they share this states conservative values. How frightening is this doctrine. This should not stand or spread .
Thank you again Mr Rashid Esq. My dad used to finish his name with this self same title lol. Anyway. This article you wrote is not only about protecting the truth from the lies. It's about informing people that we the people have rights bound by the Constitution. This is one of them. Bearing "false witness" is something in some peoples bibles so if you don't want to bear false witness then you have to stop the people that are lying to you. Yes, you can simply ignore them if you know what's what in this world but what of others who don't think beyond the slogans? They need to be made to understand that their rights, guaranteed by the Constitution are still valid! Trump wants you to believe that everything he says is written in stone! It ain't. He is just a mere man among many who have tried for centuries to drown out the truth. Don't allow it! I found out that one third of eligible voters in the US didn't even register to vote! This is power that you have to keep oligarchs taking over. Your voice is still yours! Register to vote! Today! It's the one act everybody can do. You may not want to go to protests or town-hall meetings, it doesn't matter. Because the final decision rests with you, Your VOTE tells them all to either eff-off or do as we say! Propaganda is going to go into overdrive this year because along with gerrymandering the elections, getting rid of voting machines that tabulate votes and attempting to ban mail-in ballots. This is all in they are willing to try to do in their desperate attempts to make it not easy for you to cast your vote on how the future of the country should look like! Register today because they will try their damnedest to find you ineligible if they don't like your views. There are people and organisations that can help you jump over any hurdles put in your way. Play the system to beat the system. This isn't a lottery where you just get "lucky" this is a tangible reward for what you put into it. RESIST. REGISTER. VOTE!

It seems that ‘right wingers’ have issues with Sesame Street and empathy.

I suspect that for all intents and purposes, America is tucked. Time to tear it down and start again.
Fucking autocorrect!
I actually just got hit on by them to "teach" at their "Christian" university. They obviously have no clue about me (other than my online C.V.). LOL!

I was screaming that at the top of my lungs all last year...sigh...

Pedophile Trump

There actually are laws that restrict such usage. I don't know why they're not being enforced. It's absurd.
Anything a citizen can do to help get those laws enforced?
That’s even more frustrating 😩

That’s not factual, Ada. One of those candidates had her team create a document stating what she stands for.
Did they use AI to clean up the language? Maybe.
Doesn’t absolve the other of plagiarism.
