Of all the PragerU propaganda you've seen, this might be the worst.
Frederick Douglass takes a dig at BLM while praising the founding fathers as abolitionists and calling the Constitution a "glorious liberty document."

Dangerous clown
RFK Jr.'s super PAC has been paying thousands to a fringe outlet that warns readers about the purported threat of “Black and brown invaders" with a "primitive culture"; urges followers to arm themselves against trans people; and calls the 2020 "stolen." https://t.co/EIFQxC5a5g

Backlash
Parent-led orgs like us, @momsforsj and @_dofd are not going to let a minority of parent voices set the standard of what is appropriate information for our students to learn.
Their fight isn’t about parental rights. It’s about control. https://t.co/ZAjDujSRAk

So this means people can carry guns into the statehouse, and to Republican press conferences?
Absolutely bonkers. Today—two days after 8 people were gunned down in Allen, TX—the Texas House will hold a vote on a Republican bill that ~repeals~ gun safety measures.

HOWEVER:
BIG + UNEXPECTED: A Texas House committee just advanced legislation that would raise, to 21 from 18, the age at which an AR-15 can be bought. Two R reps, Sam Harless and Justin Holland, joined D’s for the 8-5 vote. Bill still faces steep hurdles. https://t.co/FaOVLeRBuk

Oh sure
So the NRA lawyers contend that so many people own AR-15s, it would be unconstitutional to ban them!
On Friday, Paul Clement and Erin Murphy filed a brief at the Supreme Court arguing that AR-15s and magazines are constitutionally protected. https://t.co/Qi8DRvWn3n pic.twitter.com/Jgxpk4IpNI
