"PragerU doesn’t need official approval to spread climate denial in public schools, a Texas State Teachers Association representative tells HEATED."
"Last month, the ultraconservative media group Prager University was approved as an educational resource in Florida public schools. That approval, covered by media outlets across the country, meant that millions of children across Florida could be taught PragerU material, which includes a video that promotes fossil fuels by subtly comparing climate-concerned students to Nazis.
It recently looked like PragerU—which is not actually a university—had chalked up another win. Last week, the group announced it was approved by Texas as an official resource in schools.
That turned out to be entirely false, as we reported last week. And since that story, two more state agencies in charge of Texas’ school curriculum and funding—the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Comptroller—told HEATED that they haven’t approved PragerU for anything."
