[ [link removed] ]Turn on images to see Alex Wagner's segment on Florida using right-wing
Prager U teaching materials.
Earlier this week, MSNBC's Alex Wagner showed viewers Florida's newly
approved right-wing "supplemental educational materials."
"They include videos about why your kids should back the blue and reject
Black Lives Matter."
"They include kids magazines such as one that pushes clean coal and
describes climate change as an unproven and debated theory."
Alex played clips of videos teaching children from K-12 grade things such
as "most gender stereotypes exist because they reflect the way men and
women are naturally different."
The materials are produced by a right-wing group that describes its
mission as "fighting back against the left-wing propaganda pushed on
children in schools" and promises on its website that "more states are
coming soon."

chipping in to the PCCC's national SAVE OUR SCHOOL BOARDS campaign to
equip hundreds of low-budget school board candidates with training,
resources, and money to fight back against right-wing extremism in 2024.
ABC News reports we are leading the charge to fight back:Â "The Progressive
Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) launched the 'Save Our School Boards'
campaign to boost more than 200 aligned school board candidates in the
upcoming cycle."
Politico reports that the "Save Our School Boards" initiative from the
Progressive Change Campaign Committee is also intended to serve as a
liberal attempt to create a national school board slate.
The American Prospect adds that "PCCC's 'Save Our School Boards' campaign
is to give progressive candidates the tools they need to not only stand up
to right-wing extremism, but also to learn how to run successful campaigns
and implement a progressive agenda."
In recent years we've helped hundreds of local candidates -- including
school board wins like Missy Zombor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Katrina
Doughty in Multnomah County, Oregon.
Missy told ABC News why this campaign is so important: "School Board
campaigns are some of the most polarizing and difficult political
campaigns right now and they are often run by brand-new candidates with
little to no campaigning experience. Learning how to build a budget,
obtain your voter file, communicate with the media, and prepare for
everything else along the way can be daunting."
Karl Frisch is a Fairfax, Virginia school board member who is running for
re-election in November with PCCC’s support. Frisch told The American
Prospect, "[PCCC’s] candidate training really helped flesh out what to do,
and [how] to run an effective campaign that gets my message in front of
the voters I need to win."
We anticipate our program will cost $450,000. Our resources will guide
first-time school board candidates through gathering petition signatures,
creating a campaign plan, budgeting, building a grassroots army, and more.
