Conservative propaganda platform PragerU announced a partnership with Louisiana’s public education system Tuesday. The partnership would bring the number of states collaborating with the organization on school curricula to seven, including Oklahoma, Florida, Montana, Texas, New Hampshire and Arizona. PragerU is not, as its name suggests, an actual university.
Reached for comment about the partnership, an official from the Louisiana Education Department told MSBNC: Simonian's video hinted at what students can expect from the partnership. “We like to teach about and honor American exceptionalism and, of course, the entrepreneurial spirit that built America,” she said in describing PragerU’s materials. I suppose “entrepreneurial spirit” is one way for a propaganda outlet to describe chattel slavery, which is what quite literally built America.
