I am sorry for sullying the board and the world with a thread about PragerU but what in the world
am subscribed to their new "kids youtube channel" because I am a parent and want to know about all of what kids are watching on youtube and this is completely insane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGGxWUXW_Xc
please just watch the first minute or so of this childrens game show called "Guess or Mess" featuring trivia questions about former US president Franklin Pierce
can hardly believe this is real, the canned laughter, the host, the...everything about it, this can't be real, if you told me PFFR was behind this I might believe it
legit distressed that actual children are watching this, and they've already been approved to be broadcast in Florida public schools? and they're working on Texas?
wtf

bud that is not even anywhere near the lip of the abyss for how bad it is for kids on youtube and the pandemic opened the floodgates & all the kids I know, mine included, swam right through

Oh sorry, I see you said that in the OP. Yeah, what a world.

I mean I was aware that unfettered access to youtube is a mistake for everyone of any age, very interested to see anything and everything worse though
this seems remarkable to me because if I ever saw a "tv show" at school it was like a very dry historical documentary, or a period film set in a time we were talking about in class (they made us sit at desks and watch the entirety of Sarah, Plain and Tall, no breaks, just ~35 10 year olds watching the Hallmark channel in silence)
but surely this is something else

There’s an old PragerU video I’m surprised hasn’t been deleted where a West Point professor explains how the Civil War was about slavery.
The first time it popped up on social media I didn’t know what PragerU was and thought it was a liberal infotainment thing.

that was my first exposure as well, maybe that was an opening salvo to establish credibility before uncorking the firehose of propaganda

Oklahoma State Department of Education announces partnership with PragerU kids, what in the world
have never occasioned to visit Oklahoma, any ilxors in the OK? what's going on in Oklahoma
they aren't even trying to play like the civil war wasn't about slavery, they're trying to say that it was absolutely about slavery and that it wasn't that big of a deal and it was all about *the economy* and *rights and liberty* or some such bizarre nonsense
which is par for the course on a terrible youtube channel, but in public schools?

Oklahoma is 50% meth, 50% evangelical churches and 45% crossover.
