It is with deep concern that I address the recent decision by Superintendent Ellen Weaver to officially partner South Carolina’s public education system with PragerU. This partnership, announced yesterday, introduces controversial materials into our classrooms that undermine the very principles of objective and inclusive education.
PragerU is not an educational institution, but a conservative media organization known for producing provocative and politically charged content. Videos such as “What Radical Islam and the Woke Have in Common” and “Make Men Masculine Again” are far from the kind of balanced, fact-based education we owe our children. Instead of fostering critical thinking, these materials seek to promote a narrow political ideology that has no place in our public schools.
Superintendent Weaver may claim that these materials are "optional," but the state’s endorsement of PragerU sends a dangerous message: that it is acceptable to blur the lines between education and indoctrination. This decision erodes the crucial separation between church and state, and it undermines the integrity of our public school system.
South Carolina students deserve better. They deserve an education that prepares them for a future rooted in truth, critical thinking, and diversity of thought—not one influenced by a partisan agenda. As your representative, I will fight to protect the integrity of our public education and oppose any attempt to bring bias into our classrooms.
Let’s be clear: this is not about promoting civics or financial literacy—this is about advancing an extremist agenda that will harm our children and the future of South Carolina.

The past few months have been a whirlwind for Charlotte-area hiker Matt Vilardebo. After hiking part of the Appalachian Trail in April, he gained a wealth of perspective that helped him navigate his new normal with early-onset Parkinson’s disease.
