When you send your child to school, you trust that what they're being taught is accurate. You trust that history lessons reflect what actually happened, that science isn't filtered through a political agenda, and that your child isn't being recruited into an ideology — all without your knowledge.

That trust is being broken.

PragerU — a media organization that describes itself as "the world's leading conservative nonprofit focused on changing minds" — has quietly become approved classroom material in over a dozen states, including Texas, Florida, and Arizona. Teachers can legally pull its videos and lesson plans directly into their classrooms. In many cases, parents are never told.

The content isn't neutral. In one video approved for elementary students, an animated Christopher Columbus tells children that slavery is "as old as time" and that judging historical figures by modern morality is "estupido." In another, a narrator implies that New York City schools are racially segregating students — a claim traced back to a single optional affinity group meeting at one middle school. PragerU has also partnered with the White House to produce an AI-generated series in which the founding fathers are animated to say things they never said — including lines that nearly mirror the title of a book by a PragerU board member.

Educators who've flagged these inaccuracies have been largely ignored. A historian who appeared in one of PragerU's videos and formally asked to have his name removed from their website says his requests were never honored.

This isn't about conservative versus liberal education. This is about whether materials used in publicly funded classrooms meet basic standards of factual accuracy — and whether parents have the right to know when politically motivated content is being taught to their children.

We are calling on state education boards and the Department of Education to require transparent disclosure whenever privately funded, ideologically driven content is introduced into classrooms, and to establish enforceable accuracy standards for all approved curriculum materials. Parents deserve to know. Children deserve the truth.

Sign this petition to demand transparency, accuracy, and accountability in what our kids are taught.
