And here’s a more thorough article with facts and details, that does beyond calling a Reddit user and expert for a clickbait headline:

Review the details and draw your own conclusions, don’t listen to Reddit (or Lemmy) users. Because knowing is half the battle.

I’m eager for The Audit to return.

I wonder if other well-known industry groups are also called our for their propganda? For example recycling is pushed by the plastic industry, the notion of “clean coal” is pushed by coal mining, and of course the entire notion of volunteering for charity is just Capitalism ensuring that societal problems will never try to be tackled by a Government.

This is no different.

I’m all for getting a diversity of perspective, but information presented in an academic environment should meet a higher standard than “I found this on a political radio talk show host’s site and I’m going to present it as the truth”. It should be presented as an opinion and not as a fact. The best thing kids can be taught by their parents/guardian/teacher is how logically assess information in a systematic manner.

Just a reminder that PragerU made a video defending racism and slavery.
