NYT on Prager U

This should set off alarm bells

...on the right because it veers toward tinfoil hats and fashionable obstinacy.

...on the left because our media and campus culture has so morphed into a liberal funhouse that it makes...Prager U...palatable.

I somehow doubt either side will pay much attention.

Eh, it'll spawn something called Ferragamo Tech which spawns something called Bastion State which spawns ...

 

“Media and campus culture” is not a homogeneous thing. The campus culture from Harvard to Howard to UCLA to UAFS varies wildly. Same for local media.

And hucksters have always preyed on idiots.

 

It would be shocking if someone like Prager became POTUS after this.

 

You got a problem with early 80s Rams or sumthin?

 

Yeah, Waddy was wide fucking open.

 

I've seen PragerU commercials on YouTube and always find them amusing. They must
pay good money in hopes of red-pilling viewers with five-minute "commercials"
for their bat-shit crazy ideas.

 

It’ll also set off alarms at Cleveland State.

 

“They are taught the bad parts of American history before the good parts.”

What the fuck universe do these people live in? Public schools pretty much only teach the good parts.

 

Nothing says Trumpism quite as much as the PragerU dictum “Give is five minutes and we’ll give you a semester.”

 

It seems like both sides are taught with much more consistency. (As it should be.)

College campuses are consistently liberal and there’s no reason to argue it. Especially English departments and journalism departments

 

Regarding your first sentence, Alma, I hope you're right ... but I'm not so sure. For example, my understanding is the United States' genocide of native-Americans is still virtually ignored in elementary, middle and high school history classes. Hope I'm wrong.
