I wonder what the PragerU meta is for Elementary/Middle/Highschool kids (hexbear.net)

Like do kids get made fun of for watching PragerU child indoctrination content, are they embarrassed that other kids get to watch "good shows", does it never get brought up, does it divide classmates politically earlier in life, or like what?

I'm pretty sure their target audience is homeschoolers and other right wing fundie Christians (who I imagine already get made fun of in school?).

Their ideal target audience is being the videos they're legally required to put on in Florida when your teacher is hung over or when instead of a substitute teacher, a very aggressive veteran with a loaded handgun and permission to shoot disruptive students is placed in your classroom.

Since there are cops in US schools I literally cannot even tell if this is a bit.

Not a bit. Florida is putting military veterans with zero teaching experience or even a bachelor's degree into classrooms due to teacher shortages caused directly by their state policies. So many teachers are either retiring or leaving the state, and nobody will go to Florida to teach or is pursuing training in education in-state so they're just throwing veterans into classrooms while they're getting a bachelor's degree.

My sibiling's history teacher actually showed a "Capitalism vs Socialism" PragerU video. This in a "liberal' area, BTW. It's a good thing she recognized PragerU, but her classmates did not, according to her.
