bballfamily Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 How far right is this website? I believe PragerU attempts to defend our basic freedoms, principles and capitalism. By providing information, facts and history to show people why they believe as they do, to support their conservative viewpoints. The best way to find out is to watch 2 or 3 of their videos. They are around 4 to 5 minutes long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear the Nation Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 I find them moderate to conservative. They inject tons of data and facts into their points of view. I know facts are a problem for the feelings people. It is educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Would it not be better to view some of their videos and judge for yourself? I've used a couple of them in my high school classes. My biggest problem with several I've seen is the host/presenter consistently refers to the United States as "we" and "us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest problem with several I've seen is the host/presenter consistently refers to the United States as "we" and "us." Other than that, you agree with what they present? And how is referring to the US as we or us negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Other than that, you agree with what they present? And how is referring to the US as we or us negative? I didn't agree with everything but I didn't necessarily dislike everything. As to the "we", in a classroom I'm looking for a more neutral presentation - simply saying the United States instead of we/us (or Germany or Russia instead of them) takes away any sense of preference.
