Once described as a “free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media and education,” PragerU now portrays its mission online more simply as “promoting American values.”
One year after Florida became the first state in the country to allow the company’s sometimes controversial, right-leaning kids content to be used as teaching material in public schools, the content is still allowed in classrooms across the Sunshine State.
A spokesperson from Florida’s Department of Education stated in an email that its lessons, which promote conservative viewpoints of civics and history, “align with 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 at district discretion,” the spokesperson added. In other words, teachers can use the material if their districts allow it.
