Kids' Cartoon From Conservative University Claims That Slavery Was 'No Big Deal'

Do NOT call prageru a "university".

Conservatives won't be happy until they've depicted Moses as a villain who deprived the pharaoh of his hard-earned Jewish slaves.

These videos are approved to be shown to children in Florida.

I am honestly scared for the next generation of children who believe that slavery wasn't that bad, and whatever other bullshit Prageru preaches

PragerU isn't a university. They just use the word to trick the unwary into thinking they might have a shred of legitimacy.

Disgusting. They won't be happy until slavery is brought back.

I watched some clips of a couple of these videos. I said "Ok, I'm sure it's conservative, but it can't be that bad, can it?" Surely, the Democrats are using at least some hyperbole in describing these videos, right? Right?

Nope. If anything, they've understated it. These videos are awful. The ones on climate change are particularly brutal, outright saying that because China and India are pollution leaders too, that makes it perfectly OK.

Subjecting Florida's children to 13 years of this drivel is going to turn out a generation of young adults that are going to make Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene look like Mitt Romney by comparison.

Does anyone know why they are allowed to call themselves a university when they clearly are just a rightwing propaganda machine? They fooled me for a while thinking that it was a ultra-christian academic institution or something dumb like that but they are not even a daycare. Shouldnt it be illegal to call themselves a university? Its like if i open a bussines and call it a hospital but i only sell herbal teas and suplements, like holly shit.

These assholes reaaally need to be Twilight Zoned into being slaves so they can see how not a big deal it was firsthand.

They are trying to whitewash slavery because they need it to look good for when they bring it back.

Welcome to Post Oil Feudalism

At some point along the line, Republicans decided that the more someone made liberals angry, the more conservative they were. And now they find themselves defending slavery. The "party of Lincoln".

Despite the name, PragerU is not an academic institution and does not hold classes, does not grant certifications or diplomas, and is not accredited by any recognized body.

Lol of course its PragerU. I remember they had a similar video defending slave-owners a couple years ago, but at least that one was taken down pretty quickly.

Pretty fuckin' stupid for that video to say that the US began the conversation on ending slavery when the Haitian revolution began in 1802.

You know, among all of the other fuckin' stupid things in that video.

Anyone claiming that should have to try it for a few months.

Yeah, for the slave owners maybe. /s

Fuck Dennis Prager, that smug piece of shit.

Santa not being white

"NOO!! HISTORY AND FACTS MATTERS!!"

Like seriously. These conservatives are the worst.

I've seen pictures of Frederick Douglass.

Frederick Douglass did not look like he thought slavery was "no big deal".

He looked like he'd have beaten your ass to a pulp for even thinking it.

Prager isn't even good by the standards of fake youtube universities.

Historical revisionism… so hot right now.

There's nothing redeemable about PragerU.

Along the same lines, but not to this level:

A few years back, we had a family member who is at a very extreme end of the political spectrum give my kids a book set that they "saw in a facebook ad" that said it was all about wholesome family values. It was called the "Tuttle Twins."

Not knowing what it was, we started reading them with our kids. The first book we read was fantastic(we read out of order). It talked about pencils, and followed the entire supply chain. Very informational, entertaining, and educational. It wasn't until the 2nd book, and on that the agenda crept in. Funny how when they talked about crime, all of the cartoons of criminals were diverse. When they talked about landscapers and gardeners, they were all depicted as hispanic. It kept getting worse and worse. Talking about education being corrupt, about how much immigration impacted people, and tried to justify a lot of things. We stopped reading early on, but I browsed them all to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Then I googled them, and I realized how bad the propaganda was.

PragerU is a think-tank, not a university.

Conservatives have infested the planet, spreading their diseases of deception, manipulation, bigotry, homophobia, racism, misogyny, antisemitism and xenophobia.

It is inappropriate to do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Do your part to fight conservatism. Exclude them from your daily life.

No wonder US propaganda is a matter of study subject in schools in Europe

If slavery 'was no deal' and 'actually beneficial' to those enslaved because of some skills or whatever, why not enslave those that are pro slavery and that keep spreading this bs?

I mean, if it's so beneficial... 🤷🏻

Prager Urine

Conservative "university"

Imagine a world where pedophilia/rape is legal and there is no escape for the victim. No big deal? Growing up, I held Thomas Jefferson in esteem. It is still teaching a whitewashed history. Lies are still rampant in the quest to steal minds to their racism.

Demote PragerU to Prageru. Don't give it any credibility by using their capital U. It isn't earned.

every day, i lose more and more faith in humanity

Come on, guys. It's just a bit of cultural genocide, abuse, mind control and forced labour. It's not that bad. /s

Can we just kind of get that state off the books somehow? Like, just give it to cuba?

Straight up meme material. Is this actually legit?

I think it was quite a big deal, really.

And apparently this is approved curriculum for Florida.

Soon to be taught in Florida schools…

I'm sure they'd agree that you shouldn't judge for the crucifixion of Jesus and the persecution of Jews/early Christians as that kinda stuff was no big deal in the culture of the past right? What about majority of the present culture which views abortion as no big deal from their perspective? Popularity doesn't make something moral.

I think this article( and by extension you guys) are misrepresenting the pragerU clip. All its said was at the time, slavery was prevalent across the globe and it was "no big deal" for their societies of their time.

Who is to say that we arent going to look back and treat the prison system the same way or we would classify terminal online as slavery to corporations. Obviously slavery was inhumane but the people at the time didnt see it that way.
