The recent approval of \u200can online course by the state of New Hampshire has sparked outrage among liberals. The course, produced by a conservative nonprofit group called PragerU, denounces climate change and white supremacy theories. Rolling Stone Magazine even published an article titled &#8220;PragerU\u2019s Right-Wing Playbook for Infiltrating\u2063 Public Education Is Working&#8221; the day after the course was approved.<\/p>\n<p>New Hampshire Democrat Cinde Warmington, a gubernatorial candidate and member of the state&#8217;s Executive Council, expressed her disapproval of PragerU&#8217;s presence\u2063 in schools, \u2063stating that &#8220;PragerU truly just has no place in our schools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode\">\n<div class=\"border-comp-divider mb-4 mr-4 w-full max-w-[500px] border px-5 py-4 text-[16px] leading-[20px] text-[#262626] md:float-left\" id=\"in_article_related_stories\">\n<div class=\"mb-3 font-sans text-[16px] font-semibold uppercase leading-[19px] text-[#2F2F2F]\">Related Stories<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/parental-rights-coalition-opponents-clash-in-los-angeles-over-secret-gender-transitions-5479766\">Parental Rights Coalition, Opponents Clash in Los Angeles Over Secret Gender Transitions<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">8\/24\/2023<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[120px]\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/parental-rights-coalition-opponents-clash-in-los-angeles-over-secret-gender-transitions-5479766\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/opinion\/david-krayden-lgbtq-travel-advisory-for-us-a-sick-joke-when-pride-fests-display-lewdness-in-front-of-kids-5485159\">David Krayden: LGBTQ\u200d Travel Advisory for \u200cUS a Sick\u200b Joke When &#8216;Pride&#8217; Fests Display Lewdness in Front of Kids<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">9\/1\/2023<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[120px]\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/opinion\/david-krayden-lgbtq-travel-advisory-for-us-a-sick-joke-when-pride-fests-display-lewdness-in-front-of-kids-5485159\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mrs.\u2064 Warmington, who\u200d has previously supported funding for Planned Parenthood and \u200cpromoted Pride Month,\u2064 has called for the New Hampshire Attorney General&#8217;s Office to\u200b investigate \u200dPragerU for consumer fraud due to \u2062its self-proclaimed status as a university.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Attorney General&#8217;s Office issued a statement prior to the approval of the curriculum, stating that PragerU does not hold itself out to be an institute of higher learning\u200b and acknowledged that it offers &#8220;edutainment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other \u2064state Democrats, including the New House Democratic Caucus, have labeled the PragerU curriculum as\u2064 dangerous, accusing the\u200b company of spreading misinformation and teaching incorrect history.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">The curriculum\u2064 in question, called\u200d Cash Course, is a free program consisting of 15 five-minute videos covering topics such as &#8220;Understanding Taxes,&#8221; \u200c&#8221;What is An Economy,&#8221;\u2064 and\u2064 &#8220;Insurance Basics.&#8221;\u200b One \u200dof the videos, titled &#8220;Student Loan 101,&#8221; addresses the\u200c misconception \u200dthat student loans are free money and explains the \u2062concept of debt and different types of student loans.<\/div>\n<p>Republicans argue that the criticism of the PragerU\u2064 curriculum is hypocritical, \u2064considering the wide\u2064 variety of curricula \u2062funded by taxpayers, including the controversial app\u2063 called\u2064 Sora, which has given students access to \u200bpornographic material.<\/p>\n<p>Laurie Kench, a parent and member of the parents&#8217; rights group Citizens For\u2063 Responsible Education (CRE), expressed disbelief at the accusations\u200b against PragerU, stating, \u2064&#8221;There&#8217;s porn on\u200b there, and they are calling a conservative curriculum\u2062 dangerous?

She\u200c argues that if every \u2063left-wing curriculum were\u2064 to be objected to, there would be very\u2062 few curriculum offerings left.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Marie Banfield, a mother from New Hampshire, recalled a time when she and other parents protested the adoption of a\u200d book promoting Marxist propaganda in a personal finance class. She emphasizes \u200cthe importance of ensuring that curriculum aligns with educational goals rather than pushing a specific agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Parents in Goffstown, New Hampshire, have recently objected to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberals-outraged-at-new-hampshire-adopting-a-conservative-school-curriculum\/\" title=\"Liberals furious over New Hampshire's conservative curriculum adoption.\">poster\u200b promoting \u2062transgenderism displayed<\/a> in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-signs-bill-requiring-transparency-from-schools-on-reading-materials\/\" title=\"DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring Transparency From Schools On Reading Materials\">middle school library<\/a>. Nancy Biederman, one of the parents, appreciates that the \u200bPragerU curriculum provides an alternative option for students and believes it is not something that\u200b is forced upon them.<\/p>\n<p>The adoption of PragerU has also\u200d sparked controversy in other states, \u200dincluding Texas, \u200cMissouri,\u200d and Florida, where it has been\u2064 integrated into the core curriculum of schools. Critics\u200b accuse \u2062Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of contradicting his &#8220;education, not indoctrination&#8221; motto by promoting PragerU.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the criticism, PragerU \u200dmaintains its mission to promote\u2063 American values and offer an alternative to left-wing ideology in \u2063culture, media, \u200cand education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u200b are the concerns \u200craised regarding\u2062 the allocation of funds towards LGBT curricula and how does it impact other educational needs<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200d Loans.

They contend that the inclusion of videos denouncing climate change and white\u200b supremacy theories \u200dis an attempt to indoctrinate students with\u2064 conservative \u2062ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the\u2063 curriculum, on \u2063the other hand, argue that it is important to expose students to a range \u2063of perspectives and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-centers-for-disease-controls-lies-have-destroyed-its-legitimacy\/\" title=\"The Centers For Disease Control\u2019s Lies Have Destroyed Its Legitimacy\">encourage critical thinking<\/a>. They believe that students should have access to diverse \u2062viewpoints and\u2062 be able \u200dto\u2062 evaluate and \u200canalyze information for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding \u200cthe inclusion of LGBT curricula\u200b in\u200d public schools further exacerbates the debate. While\u2062 proponents argue that it \u2063is necessary to \u2062promote \u2064inclusivity and foster \u2062acceptance of LGBT \u200dindividuals, opponents believe that it \u2063goes\u2064 against their religious and moral beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c issue of\u200b funding allocation also\u2062 comes into play. Critics question \u2064the prioritization of funds towards LGBT curricula, arguing that\u2064 there are more pressing educational needs that require financial\u200b resources. They argue that addressing issues like infrastructure, teacher salaries, and improving academic outcomes should take precedence over implementing LGBT curricula.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the backlash,\u2062 the New Hampshire Department of Education has defended its decision to\u2063 approve the online \u2063course, stating that it complies with state standards and provides \u2062valuable financial education to students.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding PragerU&#8217;s curriculum highlights \u200bthe ongoing tension between different ideological viewpoints in public\u2062 education. It\u2063 raises questions about the role of schools\u2063 in shaping students&#8217; beliefs and values and the limits of ideological \u200binfluence in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the inclusion of controversial curricula in public schools should be approached with careful\u2062 consideration and a commitment to providing students with a well-rounded education that promotes critical\u2064 thinking, inclusivity, and respect for diverse perspectives. \u2062It is crucial to strike a balance between exposing students to different viewpoints\u2062 and preserving \u200bthe integrity of education by ensuring that curriculum decisions are based on sound educational principles and standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public schools increase funding for LGBT curricula, causing liberal backlash over New Hampshire&#8217;s approval of an online course by conservative nonprofit PragerU.
