Synopsis

The conservative media company PragerU is on a mission to spread its propaganda through American public schools. Their material is already widely used in homeschooling and right-wing governors like Ron DeSantis are approving it for classroom use. PragerU material is totally unreliable and often outright false, but is slickly-produced and designed to look educational.

Students need to be equipped with the intellectual tools to resist indoctrination. Hence this useful pamphlet from Nathan J. Robinson and the editors of Current Affairs magazine, a leading leftist political periodical. In this useful, short guide, students are taught how to recognize propaganda and misinformation. The guide goes through PragerU material on fossil fuels, socialism, slavery, Israel, Black Lives Matter, and healthcare to debunk PragerU's arguments and show how they manipulate the truth. This pamphlet is indispensable for every student, it's an inoculation against bad ideas that teaches crucial critical thinking skills!
