Prager U is ridiculous

 

Prager University, PragerU for short, is a conservative propaganda outlet that seeks to affect American thought from a Christian nationalist perspective. They want to put Christianity (their brand) everywhere, rewrite and whitewash history, teach kids their version of history, and spread their word in any nook and cranny of society they can.  I monitor their information.

A recent offering was a ranking of Presidents based on a survey of conservatives (which included Pete Hegseth, so we know the level of intellect that was involved). Let their words introduce it.

"For decades, most presidential rankings have come from a narrow, left-leaning perspective. Our Presidential Rankings Survey sets out to broaden the conversation by inviting voices and viewpoints that are often ignored. We want to give Americans a fuller, more balanced picture of our nation’s leaders—one that looks beyond long-held assumptions and encourages deeper thinking about what truly makes a great president."

I'll give you a hint right now; if you're liberal, you won't do well. If the right-wing wants to demonize you, and blame you for everything bad that they can, you're really not going to do well.  

PragerU's Presidential Rankings

They didn't rank Trump, because he's just getting started on wrecking the country and ending American democracy.  They didn't rank Harrison or Garfield either, because they didn't last long enough.

Hence, Joe Biden ranks last.  

So, ridiculously, we have Biden ranked well behind Nixon, Fillmore, Pierce, Harding, and Grant, to name five who usually don't rank very high on anybody's legitimate list. Obama and Carter are just ahead of impeached Andrew Johnson at the bottom of the list. FDR?  Who led the U.S. through the Great Depression and World War II?  Middle of the pack at 20th. 

Ronald Reagan is THIRD.  Behind Lincoln and Washington. The guy who probably would have been impeached if his underlings hadn't fallen on their swords over Iran-Contra.  And fourth is Calvin Coolidge, ahead of some guy named Jefferson.  

Hey, how about Teddy R., the other face on Mount Rushmore?  Tenth.

Give me a break. PragerU is not fit to teach history. What they are doing is preaching their brand and twists on history.
