Phenomenal breakdown of PragerU's impact on public education by our very own @mannyfaces.com. Unf*ckers know Manny as our engineer extraordinaire, but he's also one of the foremost scholars on Hip-Hip in American culture and education.

As our beloved teachers celebrate this last weekend of summer, many face a darkening and daunting time ahead. Yet, a brilliant and innovative intersection exists that can provide valuable tools for resitance against the dismantling of our education system. www.mannyfaces.com/post/op-ed-h...
