HR 323 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: Requests that the state Department of Education and the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education prohibit the use of certain "edu-tainment" videos as educational tools in classrooms

This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Education and the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to stop using specific "edu-tainment" videos in classrooms. It targets content from the nonprofit PragerU, which the bill claims promotes discriminatory and anti-Semitic viewpoints alongside conservative political messages. The measure cites examples of videos that present contested historical claims and criticize social movements, arguing these materials conflict with the state's goal of providing a just and humane learning environment. Because this is a non-binding request rather than a law, it urges state officials to review and potentially ban these resources without creating new legal mandates.
