      They've been doing that for a long time.

      PragerU has been infecting education since its inception and is now having its propaganda adopted by right wingers as official course material in genuine schools.

      Trump University was disbanded in 2010.

      Brigham Young has been around well over a century, started by an outspoken racist shitbag and still having extreme right wing and racist policies and views today.

      They know full well that controlling and infecting education is the only way to breed sufficient amounts of people dumb and prejudiced enough to vote for their side.

      It's why cutting public education has been a number 1 target for the right wing since forever.

        Yes - it’s important to remember that these guys don’t want public anything .

        They sometimes hide it behind economics, but it’s ideological.
