- There's a new alternativefor supplementing

how your child learns in public,private, or homeschooling.

It's called PREP

and it's offered by theconservative Prager University.

CBN's Charlene Aaron talkedwith one of the creators of PREP

on what it is and why shebelieves it is needed.

- We feel alone.

If any of us stand up and ask a question

to a principal or a teacheror an administrator-

"Gee, why is this being taught

with this perspective whenkids should just be taught

reading, writing, and arithmetic?"

So, we formed the group here at PREP.

It's stands for Prager U Resources

for Educators and Parents.

It's a long word so welike to call it PREP.

We formed PREP for two reasons.

One, so us parents can not feel alone

and we can find kindredspirits and strength

to be able to speak up inour schools and communities.

And also we're gonna be creating

some fun, entertaining programming

specifically for kids kindergartenthrough the 12th grade

that celebrates American values

of honesty and equality under God

and respect and all of those things

that we treasure here in this country.

- So, Jill, tell me what'savailable for parents

and how can they use it?

- Okay, so first off, we have a few things

that are available right now.

It's really exciting

because we just launched a few months ago

and we already haveabout over 6,500 members.

And in that membership,

you have access to a privateFacebook discussion group

where you can sort of ask,talk about different issues

that are happening in your own community.

That group has about 12 thou-excuse me, 1,200 members.

That group has 1,200 members.

And so, what happens in that group

is a honest discussion seeking solutions

in everyone's individualschool and community.

Parents and teacherswho are in that group.

We have some amazingteachers in that group.

We can talk to each other.

We can say, "This iscoming up at my school.

How can I talk to a teacher about this?

What's the right course of action?"

So, it's sharing information.

The other component thatwe're really excited about

is our programming that's going to launch

on our website in April.

So, right now, we're puttingtogether specifically

story times for kindergartnersthrough second graders.

I read a story based on American values

and we have these short and sweet videos

where kids can be entertained,

parents know that the programming

is educational and wholesome,

and they also develop the appreciation

and the love for our country

that is quite frankly lacking

in a lot of our educational institutions.

And we're doing similarvideos and programs like that

for, you know, the thirdthrough the fifth grade

and the sixth grade and junior highs

and high schoolers and up.

So, those are all going tolaunching in April on our website

which you'll be able toaccess on prageru.com.

- How are educators using PREP

and what are they telling you about it?

- What the teachers are doing

is they're exchanging lesson plans

that they have individuallycreated at their own schools

that celebrate Americanliterature or American history

or, you know, have discussionsabout censorship, big tech,

anything in an unbiased way

because the districtsor the private schools

that they perhaps teach at

aren't allowing that kindof unbiased curriculum

to be offered officially.

So, a lot of these teachershave individually said,

"You know what? I'm goingto create my own unbiased-

Here are the facts.

These are the historical dates, times,

everything that children need to know."

And they're exchangingtheir lesson plans as well.

In fact, one of our teacher-It's really incredible.

One- a few of our teachers in the group

sort of started this snowball effect

and started saying, "Hey, you know,

I created this for Americanliterature 11th grade

if anyone wants to access it."

And right then and there,

even a lot of our homeschool parents said,

"Hey, this is- we'vebeen looking for this.

This is great."

And so, it's a real informationaland educational exchange.
