Florida approves non-accredited far-right PragerU for schools. PragerU promotes anti-immigrant, denies racism, supports Christian nationalism, disputes climate change, questions gender/race/sexuality equality, and pushes capitalist/imperialist ideologies.
found that PragerU videos, widely popular in right-wing circles, “reject diversity and equality of genders, races and sexualities, support capitalism and the free market economy, and heavily relate their views to Christianity.”, finding that the organization frequently rewrites history.

Ron] DeSantis hasn’t removed political ideology schools, but rather amplified conservative Christian ideologies that he favors,”
