SR 152 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: To urge and request the Louisiana Department of Education and the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to prohibit the use of "edu-tainment" children videos that are discriminatory and anti-Semitic as educational tools in classrooms.

This Senate Resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Education and the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to stop using specific children's videos as teaching tools in classrooms. The bill targets content produced by PragerU, a nonprofit organization, which the resolution claims contains discriminatory and anti-Semitic material that contradicts state educational goals. By citing the Louisiana Constitution's requirement for a just and humane learning environment, the measure urges officials to remove these videos from schools rather than adopting them as part of the curriculum.
