According to USA Today, PragerU is an unaccredited right-wing advocacy group that focuses on offering an alternative to “dominant left-wing ideologies,”. The curriculum was added to Florida’s classrooms just days after the state Department of Education approved controversial academic standards for Black history curriculum.

“We promote American values through the creative use of educational videos that reach millions of people online. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Prager University Foundation (“PragerU”) offers a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education.” says PragerU.

What's hilarious is that Republicans accuse actual education of turning people left-wing, and then create fake "education" groups whose EXPLICIT purpose is to turn people right-wing. As always, every allegation is an admission of their own desires.

Shouldn't "creative use" be followed by "/s"?

Also "educational videos"

"offers a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education"

In other words reality is left leaning and we don't like it.
