Jack, Oklahoma has become the second state, after Florida, to approve the use of materials from right-wing propagandist PragerU in the state's public schools.
Sign the petition: Keep PragerU out of our schools!
SIGN THE PETITION
The GOP’s push to control our children’s education is frightening. With PragerU, GOP-led states are signaling their full support for a propaganda machine that has promoted videos with hosts who denounce immigration, dispute the existence of systemic racism, and deny ties between violent right-wing extremists and the conservative movement, and presenters who have connections with white nationalists.
The GOP standard to whitewash social inequality is deeply harmful. Our children deserve an education that equips them with the tools to think critically and independently and to learn the true history of our country. Let's ensure that our schools remain a place for unbiased learning, not a platform for propaganda.

Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding PragerU be kept out of our schools:
Jack, recent collaborations between PragerU, a conservative online media organization, and educational departments in Republican-led states are jeopardizing the impartiality of our educational system.

PragerU is known for its slanted and often misleading content, which its founder, Dennis Prager, has openly acknowledged is intended for right-wing ideological indoctrination. Such content is inappropriate and dangerous in an educational setting that should prioritize unbiased and factual information.
This is not just a regional issue; it's a national crisis. Parents and educators alike need to be aware of the distorted narratives these materials present, often disguised as "alternative viewpoints."
We firmly believe that education should offer a well-rounded view of the world, enabling students to develop their own informed opinions. The biased content from PragerU undermines this fundamental principle and poses a threat to the quality of education our children receive.

Thank you for fighting with us,
