prageru kids on Meet the Press the whole piece aired about a month ago we have been if you're a subscriber um to our email list for Prager you or Prager you kids you've probably gotten the um the notification about our CEO Marissa stri and Dennis Prager reacting on video to the piece that aired on NBC all about um Prager you kids and I've actually shared um I'm hoping you can see the link because I did share it in the description on Facebook and YouTube here so um again this piece all about Prager you kids aired in December Dennis and Marissa reacted to it I've sh shared the link I would like you if you're able to if you're watching right now take a look at my screen you can see the be I'm not going to play it for you because I really want everyone to do a few things okay let this very first live of the Year inspire you to find truth and develop discernment by doing a few things here according to you know as associated with this NBC link watch the segment on nbcnews.com then I want you to watch Dennis and Marissa's reaction to it very Frank reaction I myself spent this is more than an hour long this is all free on our website for you to watch prageru.com you can type in Dennis and Marissa react to NBC piece this is on our website for you to watch and then I want you to watch Marissa stright our CEO's uncut totally Raw interview with NBC and this I am asking you to do this Mom to Mom parent to parent as a way to educate yourself further for how to discern truth and teach our children to discern truth when watching or listening to different mainstream media because I'm telling you what I learned personally there's a few things I want to say about this first of all I'll go back to I'm just going to let it sit here on the video on Dennis and Marissa's uh reaction of the NBC piece because I want you to be able to to see the website and remind you to watch this but a few things I want to say about this personally this was in fact a hit piece and I I I'm speaking for myself personally I don't say that with any you know Vendetta or disdain or bitterness or I really don't because I I've come to the point now and I want you all to leave comments on the Facebook and YouTube video I've come to the point now where nothing really surprises me anymore this piece that NBC uh put out on prageru and prageru Kids was about NBC devoted about 30 minutes to Prager you kids okay um it was deceitful it purposely omitted the brain and meat of what we actually do here at Prager you kids it seemingly purposely omitted our shows that we've developed regarding financial literacy Civics education character development um the promotion of all things goodness essentially because that's that's what we do at Prager you kids we strive to entertain and educate children in character development goodness our shared values our shared history the uh Cultural Literacy the stories that actually unite us as opposed to separating us into victim and oppressor categories um the NBC piece really did miss the mark in in showing and informing everyone about the spectrum of what we do particularly for our kids shows at prer kids.com and it's really the past few years it's been very very hard for me to reconcile how much Legacy mainstream media will now lie it's really hard for me to reconcile those of you who know me and have followed me know that my professional background the 15 years prior to me coming to work here for prageru kids was in fact in mainstream media on mainstream news outlets um CBS KTLA I did some work here and there for the Today's Show on NBC as a parenting contributor it's been really hard for me to reconcile how much mainstream media lies but I'm now used to it and the piece that was done on prageru kids was not surprising to me at all it's to be expected it's disappointing yeah because you know journalism is supposed to be the pursuit Pursuit Of Truth and the um the the the sharing of unbiased information but if you watch these pieces you will see very clearly that it was in fact ve very biased and it was in fact blatant misinformation uh but we don't feel dejected around here we do not feel dejected we feel I'll say this personally I feel personally validated to Showcase we I'm about to Showcase with you that uh mainstream media has zero issue with lying NBC came to our offices spent an entire day here eight eight hours I believe it was they spent an entire day here um in the piece they showed behind the scenes footage of me uh reading the story in Otto's tales and in the piece when you watched it on television there wasn't one single video description of what that actually was the piece if you watch it and if you watch Dennis and Marissa's reaction to it um on our website you will see that there was a lot of tangents that really were irrelevant and had nothing to do with us so I encourage you to watch this piece what I really doubly encourage you to do is to watch the uncut interview of again our CEO Marissa stright and ask the question why in the NBC like I said spent 30 minutes discussing prageru on their Meet the Press program back in December within that 30 minutes it was about a 12 minute pre-produced segment and then on the back end of it the remaining 30 minutes was commentary uh between uh two people you can watch the whole thing on um NBC's website but why in the 12 12 minute produced segment was none of our CEO Marissa str's sitdown interview included which you can watch for sitdown interview on our website raw completely uncut with the reporter um Antonia Hilton back and forth completely uncut unedited raw why was none of Marissa's interview used because it was too reasonable because it made too much sense because it was actually unifying for anyone to listen to on either side of the aisle politically speaking um journalism used to be rooted in finding the truth and the produced piece that ended up airing on NBC was not um if it was it would have included half a sound bite from the actual sitdown interview with Marissa which I encourage you to watch on our website pr.com because it's not ratings friendly to share something reasonable that's the fact for NBC to share something reasonable that would have actually had viewers pause and say oh that's something interesting to think about or I agree with that I may not agree with everything prageru.com does but I do agree according to what Marissa stright said that children need to be educated and unified not based on race that makes sense but reasonability aired on television does not equal ratings so we need to be committed as parents to pursue truth and have discernment and really know what we're dealing with and and I just I I can't help it but I found this experience completely validating for the truth and the the goodness of what we are sharing here with parents families teachers educators of all kinds through Prager you kids I found validation that now more than ever we need to unify our children through education not split them apart by politicized narratives and teacher Union directives we need to unify our schools more than ever to understand and value truth and to speak truth and um I thought it might be fun to share some of my interview Raw and Uncut that I had with the reporter Antonia Hilton um because none of the 15minute interview that I did also was included in the piece which I don't mind at all because honestly there there's only so much time you can do things right it doesn't matter to me I know how it is on the back end in the editing Bay when you're in news you can't include everything you just can't however I'm going to share some of my interview with you now because if you watch the piece that aired on NBC you will see that statements and inferences were communicated in that segment about prageru that directly contradicted what was said in the raw footage by myself and by quite frankly Marissa and Dennis but you can watch their you can watch their raw footage on our website but you don't have my raw footage on our website so I'm going to share it with you now just a little bit this is a portion of it and this is the purpose of me sharing this is is again it's it's not to be bitter it's not to shame it's not to say hey I got you we're way past I got your moments here our goals my goals as a mother who happens to work for prageru kids my goal is to teach people how to discern truth okay and here we go let's watch this I'm going to bring it up on my screen and it's a little bit long so I might make a comment here and there but this is just a portion of what I talked about with Antonia Hilton here we go you some that are GR in states can are what are you going to do about that is is there how do you see Prager being able to grow if without accreditation if historians and groups are saying you're not appropriate for schools how does this grow and how do you actually find your place in the education system all of our content is available online for fre for anyone it's available to for anyone to use teacher or parent right now it's all up there anyone can access it for free teachers access virtually anything they want online now for free and when it comes to accreditation is amaze.org accredited no is BLM the black lives matter organization accredited no they have materials that are available for teachers to access in schools and in some school districts those materials are actually mandated okay I'm going to pause right there amaze.org those of you who watch my lives are probably already informed about amaze.org it is sex education online these online um online resources that many teachers use I myself know personally for a fact there are several local unified school districts public school districts in Southern California that use amaze.org for their sex education if you go to amaze.org oh I'm going to try and do this off the cuff right now if you go to amaze.org you will see and if you poke around on the website you will see that many of their videos have to do with teaching kids as young as fifth grade pansexuality gender identity um inappropriate topics such as how to pleasure yourself okay I don't enjoy talking about these things online but amaze.org based on the research that I've done the searches online that I've done amaze.org to my knowledge is not an accredited institution yet Beverly Hills Unified School District and uh La kinata Unified School District both very affluent school districts here in the Southern California area have used amaze.org uh resources linat Unified School District in particular used an amaze.org video in one of their uh quote unquote science you know healthed sexed classes to teach about abortion okay so these are amaze.org is an uncredited organization according to my research please prove me wrong if I am wrong I you know I I want to be proved wrong if I'm making a mistake but NBC tries to tell the world Prager you is not accredited not accredited you have school districts using non- accredited materials across the board for frankly very age inappropriate lessons and you're going to lambast us for making videos about literally Civ I and financial literacy or character development that teaches children that we are all created equal and that we should all treat each other equally based on the content of our character I also want to talk about another uncredited uh educa uncredited institution that is not you know accredited for um curriculum so to speak black lives matter you heard me say it in the raw footage uh with a reporter black lives matter at schools here's the website if you're looking at the video right now lusd.org black lives matter at schools week of action February 1st through 5th now granted I believe that this particular lesson which I've had bookmarked in my work files here this uh particular handout was out and about for usage by teachers with action steps in in public schools I believe this particular one was for fe uh February 2021 so you have these non accredited institutions all over Public Schools Planned Parenthood also offers resources and lessons that many schools utilize the Trevor Project also offers lessons that many schools utilize many re resources helplines so to speak so all of these things and and I you'll notice I said that in my raw interview yet the piece the segmented piece on NBC did not care I want to talk about one more thing because the piece on NBC and I will go back to this too if you are really interested in going down this rabbit hole which I en I encourage you you'll notice that our CEO Marissa stright today um there's a piece on Fox News fu is showing up and providing an alternative voice to the Dei and critical race Theory and the early sexualization of children and we're representing much of theica of America's public the parents and we're saying enough with that we don't want you indoctrinating our kids to hate our own country or to hate one another or to hate their own bodies we don't want any of this Marxist education in our schools and at the very least we want institutions Kinder through college to have an alternative an option where if they don't want to teach CRT and they still and they want to teach an alternative if they want to layer level the playing field they have at least another TurnKey educational piece that they can use and that that's true okay I encourage you to also watch Marissa on uh foxnews.com but um let's go back to my interview very quickly because I want to share one more thing with you there there was an ongoing theme in my uncut interview with the reporter from NB NBC discussing race um she rightfully so I I mean I had a very nice friendly rapport with her rightfully so the reporter kept bringing up how um you know she kept bringing up the the uh idea of marginalized groups how marginalized groups need a voice how um how you know certain aspects in history are not told by Mark marginalized groups and you know that was something that that was something that was a uh theme in discussion and I quite frankly said uh there's a part earlier in this where I said you know I don't NE I don't disagree with you however our objective is to unify children and educate children no matter what color their skin is and I want to just briefly continue this exchange so that you can see what I physically in real time said to her and Marissa's raw interview also ironically said the exact same thing to her yet all of this talk about unifying students with the concept of equality no matter what skin color no matter what victim oppressive Nar uh narrative they've been fed the the concept of unifying students to educate them fully and wholly in a healthy way that was never included in the nbcp so let's take a listen just so you know what the truth was and then what actually made it onto Air at NBC let's take a listen it our materials are not mandated by any means they're merely available for educators to use at their discretion should they want just like a YouTube video is the goal to get into the education system or is it really to be the conservative Disney where do you think it's going the business well well we're a nonprofit we're a nonprofit We are a nonprofit I should say that we're a nonprofit so now you know that what we are up against and if you're called uh to if you're moved to make a donation we are a nonprofit so absolutely we can fuel this um I call it a rightful joyful fight to restore our education system so you can make a donation at prageru.com keep let's keep going where do you see the content the message going to families and to teachers and to students who want to learn what so many schools are unfortunately not teaching more than half of kids across the country can't read more than half kids around the country have no financial literacy they're they they can't pass math 133% of middle school age students only3 could name significant places in history significant figures in history kids don't know Civics this is a problem for everyone this is not a left versus right issue this is not a Democrat Republican issue this is an American issue no matter this is an American issue and the part that is maybe the most disappointing in the NBC piece for me personally is is that it was never ever ever stated at all on air that our education system is a purely American issue and how important it is to unify students to become educated because it as is an American issue no matter what side of the aisle anyone happens to think politically that was the most disappointing thing to me NBC had an opportunity here to really uh you know for lack of a better word Calm the Fire so to speak they opened this segment talking about how uh we see education is a war and and and really trying to you know Gaslight us and the the the fact that the opportunity to unify people once and for all and to really move past this because everyone always says you know let's unify let's unify and and unifying people and families and Educators is really what we are about here if you go to Prager kids.com we are about unifying watch watch watch our videos that's all I can say um but you know the the disappointing thing is that the opportunity was lost to include um to include the goodness that we really are are creating and sharing for children and families and young students I'm going to continue what side of the aisle anyone may be on there is a problem and the problem is that our education system has been corrupted and many say hijacked I myself have used the word hijacked many times by politics divisive narratives uh systems and methods that literally divide kids by the color of their skin and putting them into Victor and oppressor categories as a mom I think about how too many school districts and State education departments are teaching children that they can only feel safe if they're in a room with people who match the color of their skin that's terrifying that's horrible sad honestly think about that that's what our education system that's where we're at right now and that is where we're at right now and I did in a different part of this interview discuss how I myself have seen as a parent the actual lessons where children are divided by race or divided by uh gender or divide or required to uh I you know identify their you know their their feelings of sexuality and whatnot and and I continually said the repeated theme was unify unify unify stop separating children stop separating children um which is you know it's disappointing that the piece that was aired had absolutely nothing to do with our objective here and our objective is to keep families and kids educated in a unified way with our shared values so anyways I just kind of wanted to share that I encourage you to watch let me get to the website I encourage you to watch what all of our um behind the scenes footage reveals about the misinformation shared on NBC's Meet the Press segment and I want to um encourage you to weigh in also and share what you've noticed about finding truth and searching for truth and discernment uh particularly when it comes to the education of our children let me see if there are any comments here that I might be able to react to on Facebook let's see why would I be watching NBC David good question good question you know it's funny because um I do think it's important to continue to stay a breast of all the information that is being churned out the free you know Freedom America is a free place because we have Freedom of Information and as much as we might not agree with the lies that are put put forth by many mainstream Outlets I do think it's imperatively important that we stay informed so that we are aware of the lies that are being ched out and we are aware and informed and become capable of teaching our children how to discern truth from lies let me see uh I saw the NBC nonsense and their lies unbelievable thank you heather let me see this is a from Christopher I'm reading these off the cuff so let's see there is a culture war and all rules of Rules of Engagement are out the door from the Liberals perspective liberals have no morals they have no ethics they create and recreate ethic rules in order to advance their own interests this is the essence of evil n BC you know I'm right that's from Christopher so it's that all adage know thy enemy and I hate categorizing things into enemy but the reality is that we are living in a time of good versus evil and Dennis and Marissa discuss it right at the top of this reaction piece I'm going to listen to it and give you a teaser of what you can expect because you're going to want to watch this it really is fascinating take a listen to have your school get not just one not just two but multiple bomb threats forgive me what what is the point of this questioning what does this have to do with Prager you I don't know what else you need to lose faith in our Legacy Media there was no possible way anyone watching this would know how much good existed Prager you lying by Omission is as evil as Lying by commission what I hear from teachers of every background is that they are slammed they don't even have time to talk about pronouns gender Theory okay I just want people to watch the following
