Last week, Florida's Department of Education announced the approval of  “supplemental teaching materials" from PragerU, an unaccredited, far-right institution with a history of "downplaying systemic racism and promoting anti-immigrant theories."

However, a spokesperson for Hillsborough County Public Schools told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that PragerU Kids will not be in classrooms this fall. "It is not part of any of our curriculum nor does the district have any plans to purchase it," said HCPS Chief of Communications Tanya Arja in an email.

Pinellas County Schools also won't use PragerU in the 2023-24 academic year.
