Red states strike deals to show controversial conservative videos in schools
wapo.st
Educational material from PragerU is now offered to public schools in six states. Opponents call it indoctrination and inaccurate.

Per the article:

Critics say PragerU lessons distort history and facts to serve a conservative worldview. Some scientists have said PragerU videos lack context and downplay climate change as climate alarmism, while the Council on American-Islamic Relations alleges some videos are anti-Muslim. Other complaints center on the nonprofit’s portrayal of slavery.

PragerU is literally paid by billionaires to push their far-right science denial

    Ron still has some real life conservative values

    1. Self centered, no humility (Ron trying to fuck Tom’s wife comes to mind)
    2. Hypocrite (Talks a big game about honesty but he gets a full salary for being the laziest slacker in the whole office, basically a government handout.)
    3. Arrogant. Not listening to nurse’s advice, always believing everyone else is intellectually lesser than him. You can earn his trust after many years but the starting point is not a neutral position. It’s a position of apathy or even sometimes disgust. I remember him trying to take all vegan bacon strips out of circulation instead of going about his day and letting others enjoy whatever as long as he isn’t harassed.

    But all in all he’s not so bad. As long had you ignore him he’ll ignore you as well so you can both go about your lives most of the time.

      Good points all. I admit that I’ve become a bit hazy on some of what happened on the show in the intervening years since my last rewatch, so thanks for completing the picture for me 😁
