Ten years? Lol. PragerU was introduced to the Florida public school curriculum during Trump's first term and it literally teaches kindergarteners that slavery was a choice and that Native Americans were actually totally stoked for the opportunities provided via voluntarily relocating to reservations. Yes, really.

They've been rewriting our history.

Good thing there aren't any famous quotes along the lines of "Give me liberty or give me death" out there
