My trans 8th grader came home today and told me that his PE teacher played a PragerU video in class. Since my own understanding of PragerU is that it is a conservative propaganda site masquerading as education, I was surprised.
I looked up the video and watched it. It can be found here: Discipline = Freedom
I didn't see anything specifically objectionable in the video, but my child told me he and some of his LGBTQ+ friends felt at least a little bit uncomfortable about the way it goes on about personal responsibility without any thought to people who may have started in different circumstances or faced different problems. This is especially bothersome to my child because he has faced some discrimination at school that he knows is not his fault or his responsibility. He does not believe his biracial heritage, sexuality, or gender is a "choice" or something he should have to "take responsibility" for.
I'm not really sure about whether or not I should talk to the school or make a complaint. I would appreciate guidance from other parents and educators.
