"Controversial Videos in Florida Schools: PragerU and Climate Denial"

Florida's Department of Education has approved the use of videos produced by the conservative advocacy group Prager University (PragerU) in public school classrooms. These videos, which education experts say distort science, history, and gender, could potentially be spread to classrooms in other states. PragerU CEO Marissa Streit claims that the videos will provide a "healthy balance" to counter what she perceives as left-leaning education. However, researchers warn that the videos present extreme ideas as common beliefs and could influence impressionable children. Critics argue that Florida's approval supports climate change-denial and undermines accurate climate science education. PragerU aims to develop a curriculum that can be expanded to other states, and more states are expected to approve PragerU content for classroom use.
