Parent Alert! Pride for Preschoolers?

Today is Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026. Today we have got Pride Month for preschoolers. We've got a boy winning two medals in a girl's state track and field state finals. We've got curriculum about a trans soldier in the Civil War. And Usha Vance's summer reading challenge is exposing a very hard truth. We're talking about talking all about it right now, if I can talk right now on Parent Alert. I almost forgot that it was the start of Pride Month until I saw Sesame Street's reminder. Sesame Street wishing everyone a happy Pride Month. You know, I'm gay and I'm also a mom and I don't, I don't teach my child about gay pride because why would I? Because he's a child. Why do we need to teach toddlers about gay pride? It's about inclusivity. Not for real. I don't think so. There are about a million ways that you can teach about inclusivity as well as diversity without talking about sexuality or transgenderism. You know, I don't need this much representation. Okay. I don't need to see gays on Sesame Street to feel good about myself. Okay. Sesame Street is not for the gays. Sesame Street is for toddlers to learn how to, how to count their numbers and to learn their colors and to learn how to be good friends, not to learn what it means to be in a homosexual relationship. Honestly, it's, it's going to be a long month. God bless you, Becky Weiss. Sesame Street quote is for toddlers, teaching them how to count their numbers. All right. Welcome to Parent Alert. I'm Jill Simonian from PragerU Kids here every single Wednesday at 1030 AM Pacific time on PragerU's Facebook, YouTube, live on Instagram and X. And of course later, this episode will be on our website over at PragerU.com. I, if you saw me from the very opening shot, you can see that I am very, very, very excited this morning. Before I get into our official topics for today, I cannot let this morning go after our primary elections that happened here in California last night. I cannot let this morning go by without saying praise God for the hope that I, as a mom in my personal life, have here now for the first time for California's education system, first time in a very long time. By all results so far, I have, you guys have to bear with me. Drop a comment if you are with me in mind and spirit here. By all results so far, the candidate Sonia Shah will be continuing on to California's general election in November as one of our candidates for state superintendent of instruction. Full transparency, Sonia is a friend of mine. I've featured her on here many times on Parent Alert, most specifically a few years ago when she was in news headlines left and right about being president of the Chino Valley Unified School Board in her area in Southern California. She enacted and voted on a parent notification policy in her own school district. She's an transparency and education. She's an advocate for parent and teacher partnerships. She's an advocate for bringing back merit-based standards. This is big. People came out to vote last night and this is big. Our education system did not collapse overnight. Sonia is not a career politician. She's a mom several years ago who saw that the public education system was crumbling and she has two teen children and she said, not on my watch. If no one else is going to do anything, I will answer the call to serve. Our education system did not collapse overnight and we can restore it. It is proving to take years and years of work of being informed, mustering the courage to get active in our own children's schools and education. This is why we started doing Parent Alert here. This is the reason why. So that we could share information with parents, not only in Southern California, not only in California, but for across the country to reinforce conviction about what our education system should be, to reinforce that our kids are worth it and that our schools are worth it and that our schools should return to serving families in healthy and transparent ways. I'm very hopeful and excited this morning. I will get on with our official headlines here now. Drop a comment. Tell me what state you're watching from. Subscribe for free to PragerUKids.com. Videos and lessons for kindergarten through 12th grade. History, civics, good character and financial literacy. We have got tons and tons of fun stuff. The count now is up to nearly 1,000 resources between our kindergarten through 12th grade books, videos, lesson plans, worksheets, you name it. We are officially counting down to America's 250th birthday. We are one month out. Exactly one month away. We have all the things you need to get excited and share with your family and reinforce what our American values are and what the purpose of our free republic is. Back to Sesame Street. Social media posts this week. Let's take a look at some of the social media posts. There they are right here. We see the rainbows. We see the colors. We know what this means. It is the month of June. Everyone deserves dignity and respect. Let me say that again for the people in the back who like to project what they think that I'm saying. What I'm saying is everyone deserves dignity and respect. Let's take a look at these social media posts from, again, Sesame Street, which is a show for preschoolers. As the caption reads on these social posts, I'm checking out the Instagram. There we go. We got Facebook, Instagram, all the posts. So as the caption reads on Sesame Street's Instagram handle, Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street. Join us in celebrating and uplifting the LGBTQIA plus members of our community. That is what the caption reads on Sesame Street's Instagram post. So to just, you know, piggyback and reinforce some of what mom and influencer Becky Weiss shared at the very top of this Parent Alert episode. If you didn't watch the clip, go back and watch it. Becky also happens to be gay. Her words from her video was, you know, were put very simply. There are a million ways to teach inclusion, friendship, respect and diversity without using homosexuality and transgenderism. Everyone deserves dignity and respect. But I ask, is it common sense to open discussions about sexuality with toddlers? Because that's what this is. And you can offer me your perspectives in the comments. I welcome any and all perspectives. Right. But we're talking about preschoolers. We're talking about Sesame Street. We're talking about, you know, whether it is common sense to open up that conversation about sexuality with kids who are literally two years old, three years old, four or five, six years old. Is it common sense? OK, speaking of common sense, let's go now to something that was going on with our older children, high schoolers. I will ask another question that you can answer me in the comments, because I will approach comments near the end of this show as we are live. And I love interacting with you guys. And we you know, we live in the United States. It's about exchanging of ideas. Right. So question, is it OK for parents to lie to a child and for others to be accused of wrongdoing if they wish to acknowledge truth and reality? Last weekend, everyone in California probably knows where I'm going with this. Last weekend, a young man won. And I say that respectfully. A young man won two titles in California's girls state track and field finals last year. This same young man won first place now again this year. He he was a senior and he's won two titles. Roll the video if you can. Here we go. OK, so this is A.B. Hernandez. You can read the video competing in the California Interstellar. You can see in the captions on overlaying the video, you know, which titles were achieved by this young person. And you can also see how the winners were acknowledged in just a minute. I believe it's coming up. So there you have it. And if you I hope you were able to watch that. But if you're you know, maybe if you're listening, you can see that this young man swept two of the categories in, you know, in achieving top spots. And the young women who technically came in after him were also recognized as equal winners, because that is a new rule that the California Interscholastic Federation started implementing, saying, you know, if the if the if the if the transgender female I think I'm saying this right, if the transgender female achieves the top spot, then the next spot who might be a biological female will also be recognized as earning the top spot. They're trying to, you know, play both sides and satisfy everybody. But and we've gone on over this before on previous episodes. Denying reality and truth is not disrespectful or unkind to anyone except for the girls who are forced to pretend that what's happening is honest and truthful. These girls were cheated from their discipline and hard work over years and years of training because a young man, and unfortunately, you know, along with his parents and his family opted to, quite frankly, act very selfishly against what is truthful reality. And this is all allowed under California's destructive school policies that shout inclusion, inclusion, inclusion, inclusion. This is not inclusion. In light of this, I thought it would be appropriate to share some examples of how this false inclusion, I will say, is really destroying so much of our schools from the inside out. Because, you know, a lot of people say, OK, what difference does it make? The boy and the girl were both recognized. Let's be kind to everyone. I understand the intentions of that philosophy. But the problem is that when the problem is that these these directives and these politicized activist driven lessons and curriculums that are in our schools are going are very, very deep within within the school. So I am I am you know, it is Pride Month and our purpose here is to inform you and equip you with what is happening with, you know, certain things in schools that you may not hear about in the news because because it is very much under the radar. So I'm just going to share it with you now. I brought a couple examples of curriculum that is included in schools that feeds this this philosophy of uplifting lies, if you will, that, you know, result in young men winning the girls state track and field finals. So I brought some curriculum examples that are included in schools this Pride Month. And this one is, in fact, we're in California. You know, I know there's 50 states in the nation. This one is, in fact, from New York City. I know that New York and California are the leaders of of, you know, these these activist driven curriculums. But I but I did find, you know, some very interesting things from New York City's Department of Education's lesson plans. So these are middle and high school lessons created by New York City's Department of Education's Hidden Voices Social Studies curriculum. And if you go online, you can try and search for this curriculum for New York City public schools. It's called Hidden Voices. And here's a description of it in their own words. The Hidden Voices LGBTQ plus project was initiated to help New York City Department of Education students learn about and honor the innumerable people who questioned and broke the normed expectations of gender and equality and who were therefore often hidden from the traditional historical record. Teaching students the different and often conflicting issues that affect diverse groups in the United States will help them better understand the factors that contributed to the birth, growth and development of the nation and to develop empathy for the points of view, perspectives and experiences within various groups. So, again, inclusion, you know, all of this type of education that I'm about to share with you is somehow justified by the New York City educators under this ban of inclusivity. And yeah, remember the snake oil of inclusivity that, you know, everyone was sold. Kindness, equity, inclusivity. You know, we're seeing how this plays out in real time now. So let's start with a lesson planned. The lesson plan and this is all public. I, you know, I literally started Googling and, you know, clicking on all sorts of things through Google and this lesson plan through the Hidden Voices curriculum in New York City public schools, which you can look up and scroll through. There is upwards of 200 pages of curriculum in this Hidden Voices lesson plans, by the way. This lesson plan is called Beyond the Binary in Colonial Virginia. I mean, talk about unexpected, right? These lesson plans, there are versions for the seventh grade and there are versions for 11th grades. So this lesson plan introduces Thomas slash Thomasine Hall. And that is the name of a person that is a gender nonconforming person who allegedly was, you know, a living, breathing person in Colonial Virginia. There are many focus questions in this lesson plan. How did political, economic and social factors affect the development of the colonial regions? What are American foundations for liberty and freedom? Can I answer the what are American foundations for liberty and freedom? Actually, the Bible. That's just a side note. The American foundations for liberty and freedom are, in fact, rooted in the Bible, in the Old Testament, in the book of Leviticus, which has one of the Bible verses from Leviticus talking about slavery, proclaiming liberty throughout the land is etched on our United States liberty bell. So if you're asking about American foundations for freedom and liberty, the answer to that is in the Bible. I digress. Check out this note in the lesson plan. So this lesson plan goes through this gender nonconforming person who allegedly lived in Colonial Virginia. And it talks about, you know, all sorts of things. But then the note in the lesson plan says this. There are limited historical records about Thomasine Thomas Hall's life. It says that Hall's trial in the minutes of the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia from 1622 to 1632, there have contained a few records involving, you know, describing his life. Hall used male and female genders and pronouns as well as the names Thomasine and Thomas. Little is known, and this is in the note for the actual lesson plan. Little is known about the life of Thomas Thomasine Hall. And what we do know about this individual comes from a court record from Colonial Virginia in 1629. But that single court record opens up our historical eyes to how sex and gender were viewed and understood in the early colonial era. Okay, so limited information about this individual, yet they've included it in a lesson plan to teach to 7th graders and 11th graders. And, you know, again, in this Hidden Voices curriculum, there's also, you know, something, you know, there's a whole, there's a litany of lesson plans that you can look up. If you're looking for something for 8th graders, New York City educators have outlined a lesson about someone by the name of Albert Cashier, the transgender man who fought in the Civil War. And this is a quick screenshot of the overview of the lesson. As you can see, this is the screenshot of the educator view. So, you know, it breaks down why they're, it breaks down how the lesson was constructed from an educator's point of view. You can see this is turnkey instruction for teachers to use. This particular lesson was on page 55 in the Hidden Voices lesson packet. If you want to look it up, some of the focus questions in the plan, how were gender roles defined in the mid-19th century America? Why do you think there were multiple women who dressed up as men to fight American wars? What was Cashier's reputation in the Civil War? What does this reveal about gender equality? What were some liberties afforded to Cashier as a man that he would not have enjoyed as a woman? How was Cashier treated once his sex assigned at birth was discovered? How did the differences in his treatment by different groups and over time reveal social conflict around gender identity? There are more than 238 pages of Hidden Voices lesson plans for middle and high schoolers for New York City schools. It's all online for you to look. And don't forget about our youngest learners. New York City Schools has a wide variety of book recommendations. Here are a few of the titles. Let's pull them up on the screen right now. This is for kindergarten through third graders. Twas the Night Before Pride. We've gone over that one. That's endorsed by the National Educators Association. Miss Rita. We have, you know, when Julian was a mermaid. Julian the Mermaid, the book is called. So this is for kindergarten through third graders. Just a small sampling. You can find all of this information that I have shared with you. I literally, this is like the tip of the iceberg. You can find more of this at weteachnyc.org. I encourage you to go and look through the 238-page Hidden Voices curriculum that New York City Schools is delivering to middle and high schoolers. It's activism. It's not education. Educational freedom is important. We get that. And, you know, it is very fascinating to study niche topics in American history. But these are the footnotes of history. Do these experiences victimize or unify us as Americans? Do these uplift the e pluribus unum together as one American motto first, or do they seek to highlight victim mentality, accuse oppression, divide students and encourage activism? American kids aren't even proficient in the big picture of the things they should know about American history. The cultural shared knowledge that we all should be unified with through our differences, civics, system of government, liberty, how countless United States landmarks from the revolution and beyond are inscribed with biblical scripture. That's an inconvenient fact for many. I mean, go to the walls of the walls of Congress, doors in our Capitol building, Washington Monument, Liberty Bell. I mean, we have to educate kids first about the big picture of the foundations of America, who America is, and then take it to the niche studies in age-appropriate ways. Leave me your comments. Not surprising findings for New York. Currently, just so everyone here is informed, nine states plus the District of Columbia have state-level mandates requiring public schools to deliver LGBTQ plus lessons in their curricula. And those lessons are not isolated lessons where, you know, it is announced, hey, now we're going to learn about, you know, this time in history, all of this curricula, most all of this curricula from what I've seen in my five plus years of research here, you know, particularly in California, is that this, you know, all of these activist-driven narratives are included within the social sciences, within the ethnic studies initiatives, within the history initiatives. In California alone, there's a required teacher training called PRISM for all teachers across the state who teach 7th through 12th grade. Every single public school teacher is required to go through this PRISM training in California. And PRISM stands for Providing Relevant Inclusive Support That Matters for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer Plus Students. It's a six-course online training for certified educators that provides resources to youth. Okay? I've done a deep dive on PRISM training on previous Parent Alerts, I believe, last year. Go to our website, PragerU.com slash Parent Alert, and look up the Parent Alert episode I did showing screenshots and explaining details of what the PRISM training is. It is activism in a word. It is politicized activism delivered to teachers by mandate here in the state of California and then, you know, passed on to students without informed parental consent. That's the key. I did find, though, because I'm sharing hope, we have a lot of hope here in California now that one of our candidates for state superintendent of instruction is an advocate for parent-teacher partnerships, transparency in education, and taking activism out of schools. Check out this important notice that I found on the California Department of Education's website, the page that describes what the PRISM training is. So this important notice, this is hope for California and for hopefully all of you, because what happens in California does not stay in California. As California goes, so goes the nation, right? That's one of the reasons why we do this Parent Alert. So this important notice listed as of March 2026, sort of like a disclaimer, if you will, if you go to the page that describes what the California PRISM training is for teachers. Parents and guardians have a federal constitutional right to be informed if their public school student child expresses gender incongruence. Teachers and school staff have a to accurately inform the parent or guardian of their student when the student expresses gender incongruence. These federal constitutional rights are superior to any state or local laws, state or local regulations, or state or local policies to the contrary. So that is hopeful because prior to this notice, prior to December of 2025, most every single public school district in California and beyond across the country was maintaining this misguided philosophy that keeping a student's gender confusion secret from that student's parents was somehow a good thing. Okay. As of December 22nd, 2025, there was a ruling that California's public school parental exclusion or gender secrecy policies are unconstitutional. So there is hope. The big takeaway with all of this from the top of the episode, you know, June has been, we say that the rainbow has been hijacked. We've started seeing so much political activism infused in our schools at the youngest levels and it's not slowing down. You can see the book recommendations from the teachers unions for kindergarten through third graders highlighting, you know, transgenderism and drag queens and pride and sexuality. You see it at the youngest grades in kindergarten and it goes up through elementary school, through middle school and through high school to the point where New York city is now teaching about, you know, transgender civil war soldiers in the name of creating activists out of high school students. So it's not slowing down. Our job as parents, again, everyone deserves dignity and respect, but we as parents also have the right to direct the upbringing and education of our children in age appropriate ways according to our shared values as Americans. Our job as parents is to be aware and informed about everything. And we need to be practical about approaching all of these topics in age appropriate ways with your own family. So a few years ago, we started seeing more and more of the rainbow activism happening in younger grades, included in our youngest grades. So we created an episode about a rainbow for our youngest learners. Take a look. The ark eventually landed upon the mountains of Arat. The waters dried and Noah, his family, and two of every animal returned to the earth to live abundantly. Noah was thankful. God kept his promise and protected his family. Just like he said he would. Then God spoke to Noah again from this day forward, whenever you see my bow in the clouds, know that I am remembering your faith, your service and your courage. And I will never send another flood like this again. Noah smiled and every time he and anyone else saw a rainbow in the sky, it was a reminder how God always keeps his promises. The original definition of the rainbow, the time tested definition of the rainbow, Noah's Ark. Yes, of course, that's the story of Noah's Ark. Our Otto's Tales episode, Noah and the Rainbow, reminds all of us about the original meaning of this rainbow. So I encourage you to send them out into the world showing love and light and respect for everyone and respect for diversity, but also knowing the original meaning of the rainbow. Okay, on to our next headline. Earlier this week, Second Lady Usha Vance launched her Summer Reading Challenge for kids kindergarten through eighth grade. Let's check out the Instagram post that caught my attention and I'll tell you why it caught my attention, but let's check out our Second Lady's announcement. Hi everyone. I'm Second Lady Usha Vance. I am so excited to announce the start of my 2026 Summer Reading Challenge. If you're in kindergarten through eighth grade, sign up today for a summer of adventure and reading fun. It's really easy. All you have to do is read 12 books, write them down in your reading log and have your parents or guardians send me the list at the end of the summer. Then we'll send you a certificate, a special bookmark, and a fun prize. You'll even be entered in a drawing to visit Washington D.C. and the White House with a chaperone. Okay, so this is our Second Lady. She is very accomplished. She's very intelligent. Many positive comments, of course, were under this post. This is by no means any kind of a viral incendiary post of any kind. It's very simple and welcoming. Reading is good. Reading is not political. Second Lady Vance is just this mild-mannered, accomplished. I don't think I've ever seen her say or do anything that is less than classy. And you'd think that in a free society, people would be somewhat civilized, right? Because books and children reading books are not political, especially in this climate where less than half of America's children are even proficient in reading. I mean, this is one of the problems that should unite us with a willingness to solve and come together. But no, but no, that doesn't happen anymore, because as I was scrolling through the comments, and I myself left a comment on there saying, we're cheering you on at PragerUKids with all of our books, which of course all of you know about all of our books. But as I was scrolling through the comments, even though I wasn't surprised, I was still exceptionally disappointed. People leaving comments, this looks completely unnatural, personal ad hominem attacks for no reason at all. Some of the comments underneath this post, this looks completely unnatural. When you state your opinion in your house, does your husband say, you can't talk to me like that? I'm the VP of the United States. Can we boo her too? She's creepy. When I read the comments, again, I was happy to see so many people, rational, reasonable people, championing the summer reading challenge. But I also realized there's so many off-the-wall ad hominem attacks directed at her. I realized how many people, and it just clicked, and of course this goes for any post on social media. I realized how many people evidently did not read enough in their own youth to learn and earn the kind of empathy that is required for a functioning society. Think about that. Virtue, empathy, decency comes with a literate society who has read books, who can sympathize with characters, who can learn to see the struggles of conflict, man versus self, man versus nature. These are all literary tenets that children learn about how to be a decent human being through books, through reading books. We need kids reading not only for the literacy rates, because yeah, of course that's a national security issue, but we need kids reading to have a free and functioning society so that they can be civil with each other when it comes to exchanging ideas. Let's go to the comments right now on our YouTube, Facebook. Let's pull up some comments from all of you. Oh, wow. Okay, we have a lot. Let's see. Here's a comment from YouTube. It's really simple. A sexual preference flag should not be allowed in any public school K-12 grade. Simple reproductive classes should be taught 7th through 12th grade, not alternative feel-good aspects of sexuality. From YouTube. From Instagram, I took my toddlers to drag queen library hour and there were zero pedos. Okay, that's your choice. From Instagram, he, she should not be competing with biological women. That's in regards to California state track and field finals. Again, truth and reality are not unkind. They're not offensive. No one is calling to degrade the young man who believes he should be competing in the girls category. No one is calling to degrade him, but what parents and educators and common sense citizens are calling for is an acknowledgement of truth and reality with respect and with dignity. From Instagram, here's another comment. Oh, this is regarding the New York City public schools curriculum. Civil war trans didn't exist. Cashier served as a private in the 95th Illinois infantry for the union. Can you talk? Here's another question from Instagram. Can you talk about California curriculum hidden stuff like the New York one? Thank you for your work, PragerU. You're so welcome. Can I talk about California curriculum? Yeah, that is about five parent alert episodes in and of themselves. I will off the top of my head and I thank you for that comment spreading light and love on Instagram. Off the top of my head, California's ethnic studies requirement, which is now mandated in California public high schools, the ethnic studies requirement is very, you know, people have been shouting for the roof, shouting from the rooftop, educators and parents alike. You know, much of it is anti-Semitic. Much of the ethnic studies divides students along race and gender, gender lines with a victim mentality, dividing them, you know, promoting activism. Fun fact that not many people know about California. And I encourage you if you're from another state, please enlighten me if you know what's happening in your state. But in California, well, first of all, you know, the California state schools are obsessed with standardized testing. OK, unfortunately, one of the problems in our public education system that I happen to think is a serious problem is that the you know, I'm all for measuring standards. If kids are achieving and learning the benchmarks of each grade level, I believe in measuring standards. However, in California, far too many public school teachers have fallen victim to the requirement of teaching to the test. And in California, guess what? To my knowledge, correct in California, no standardized tests for history. And we wonder why kids don't know history and civics because there is no state, their social studies and social science, but social studies and social science are not history. We wonder why kids don't know history because the subject of history has pretty much been abandoned through not teaching it in our California state schools because there's no California state standardized test that measures it. So therefore, teachers really don't spend time teaching history in the correct way that it should be taught, including civics, a government system, a government. So yeah. Anyway, so many states are below. This is another comment from YouTube. So many states are below the 50th percentile in math and reading, yet they have time to teach junk that has zero to do with this. And that is the ongoing problem. And that is where we as parents and teachers, good teachers who recognize what the underbelly of the problems are, we have to stay informed, stay active, have courage in understanding what our students truly need. They need to learn how to think. They need to learn how to read. Friendly reminder about kids reading books by the thank you for your comments, too. Friendly reminder about kids reading books, by the way. Fun facts from varied research. Reading comprehension is often better on paper than on screens. Readers tend to skim more when reading digitally. Researchers found that a growing screen inferiority effect, especially for deeper comprehension, meaning that kids who are reading things from a screen do not fully comprehend as well as they would if they read from turning pages of a book. I, myself, experience that as a middle-aged woman. Another fun fact. When a child holds a book, when a child holds a book, they get physical visual placeholders. They feel the weight of the pages shifting from the right hand to the left. They remember text by its spatial location. For instance, you're reading the dialogue. They remember. They comprehend much more deeply, and they actually have memory and understanding of what they read because of where it's placed on a page. These are all physicalities that go into reading actual books that, frankly, our kids are not doing. We thank Second Lady Usha Vance for creating the Summer Reading Challenge. Here's a fun, inconvenient fact as well. If there was a representative in our government who maybe had an opposite perspective as me personally, who was encouraging a Summer Reading Challenge with wholesome books that celebrate our unity as Americans and celebrate who we are as a nation, where we were, how we started, or how far we've come, I would be championing that as well. That said, let's pay homage to our Second Lady Usha Vance's Summer Reading Challenge with our PragerUKids Book Fair. We've shared this book fair, which we've been so excited about the past several months here. Let's pull up some pictures and reminders about what it is. This is our PragerUKids Book Fair. This is an exciting project that has been in the works for almost nearly a year for us. We love making our digital educational content, but nothing replaces books. Nothing replaces the scientific results and the data that support books as being superior to create empathy and literacy for a free and functioning society. In our PragerUKids Book Fair, here's what it is. You can order it on our website, PragerU.com. There are 16 titles, wholesome, patriotic, celebrating America's 250th birthday, hardcopy books that kids can flip through, look at, enjoy, see what they like. This is one of our books, Builders of America. You can see some of the inside history in colorful, entertaining, storytelling narratives. This is about the builders of America. We've got our Trailblazers of America book about heroes of the frontier celebrating resilience, courage. This reads like a cinematic screenplay. If you were watching, this is like the kids version of Yellowstone. I'm going to say age-appropriate historical narratives for history. Our book fair is a similar model to mainstream book fairs like Scholastic. We have the hard copies where kids can flip through, see what they like, and then order through direct QR codes. Everything is age-appropriate. Everything is standards-aligned according to national standards. Most books are, in fact, for younger learners, particularly our Otto's Tales series, but we have financial literacy workbooks for middle schoolers and high schoolers. We have our chapter books, the Pivot, the Tip-Off for middle readers. Our book fair, I believe to date, has made it to around 20 states. Unlike typical book fairs, PragerU Kids books are supported by videos and lesson plans and worksheets for what's called a 360-degree learning experience. Our book fairs are available for free through an application process that you can find on our website, or they are available for outright purchase. You can order this, have it at your school, at your church, at your organization, at your community event. PragerUKids.com slash book hyphen fair. We are out of time, and we are over time. Thank you for being here with Parent Alert. Subscribe for free to PragerUKids.com for new episodes, lesson plans, parent resources for teaching knowledge, fostering cultural literacy, and appreciating America as we head into this one-month countdown to our 250th birthday.

Thank you for your support of PragerUKids. Of course, we can't do any of this without you because we are a nonprofit, and everything we do, everything we make is from donations. We don't take one cent from the government, never have, and we never will. Links to our PragerUKids releases and resources that I shared with you today are in the description of wherever you're watching from, YouTube, Facebook, and I'm filled with hope this day after California. There's hope for schools and through communities and through our families and our children. So God bless you all. We will see you next time on Parent Alert.
