Sinister GOP Propaganda Threatens Our Schools

[Celerity]

Republicans are attempting to indoctrinate school children, and it's going to backfire.

Judging by their actions, Republicans appear to genuinely despise their children and grandchildren. It’s not entirely clear why they despise their offspring, but it is indisputable that they do. From taking away free school lunches, a pathology that hurts white Republican children more than anyone else, Republicans have been engaged in a decades-long war in defunding public schools, with entirely disastrous results. More recently, Republicans are waging war on school curriculums. First it was censoring history, and now they are pushing hardcore right-wing propaganda in a bid to indoctrinate a generation of American children. This is not going to end well for them.

History from the victor’s perspective

Republicans believe that public education has long neglected the perspective of conservative men (no, seriously) and they are hard at work remedying this injustice. A prime example of this would be Florida incorporating PragerU videos into its K-12 curriculum this year. If you’re not familiar with PragerU, it is the very definition of indoctrination. Don’t take my dirty liberal word for it. Here is Dennis Prager quoted by Vanity Fair:



I’m old enough to remember when Republicans clutched their pearls over the idea of children being indoctrinated. Now, they are bragging about indoctrinating children. So how ugly are these new lesson plans? Extremely:



This is how you teach a generation of children, including Black children, that the Confederate South was the noble victim of the evil North’s “War of Aggression.” Florida is not the only state doing this. Oklahoma and New Hampshire are considering it and there will be other Republican-controlled hellholes that almost certainly follow suit. Republicans are very aware of how effective this is because Southern Boomers are living proof of it. Or did you think whites in the South are genetically disposed towards violent racism? Of course not. This was the air they breathed for decades. It started at home but it was reinforced every day at school.

Children are our future? ........
