Why are we letting them get away with making and distributing this hateful bullshit? The more of us that report these videos for hateful and abusive content, the more likely Google is to take action. The alert button is there for a reason. Let's use it to our advantage!

Dennis Prager is an unctuous sanctimonious right wing nutball. He is an asshole in every way possible.

Secondly, this is the sanitized history my mother’s generation learned in school. Bullshit about Christopher Columbus, not a single paragraph about the genocide of Native Americans, not a negative word about a single American president. Crap about Manifest Destiny, barely concealed racism, and the superiority of the U.S. over other nations.

How is that an education? How does that teach a child anything about the world?

Two of Prager University’s largest supporters are the fracking industry billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks, who have gained a reputation as “the Koch brothers of the Christian Right.” The brothers previously owned Frac Tech, and still manage Interstate Explorations, an oil and gas service company. They were each worth an estimated $1.4 billion, according to a 2015 Rewire profile.19 As of 2015, Prager University had received an estimated $6,550,000 from the Wilks family as well as $50,000 from the Heavenly Father’s Foundation, run by Dan Wilks and his wife.20


They're looking to create a nation of Christian fascists who will happily accept 3rd world nation status and being in a slave labor pool so long as they get to 'get rid of all those icky people'.
