Florida schools are now teaching kids using “Prager University” videos, a far-right Christian propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.
One video features a cartoon of Christopher Columbus saying, “Being taken as a slave is better than being killed!”; and that “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
