Louisiana’s top education official said Tuesday that teachers can show students videos by PragerU, a right-wing media nonprofit that produces “pro-America” content that critics call conservative propaganda.
State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley announced his endorsement of the group’s “edu-tainment” children’s videos at a statewide teacher conference Tuesday, making Louisiana the sixth state to partner with PragerU. The state Department of Education plans to share a list of the group’s videos that teachers are allowed but not required to use in social studies lessons.
In a news release, PragerU said its partnership with Louisiana is “more expansive” than in other states, adding that Louisiana’s education department approved an “extensive list” of PragerU videos for social studies.
