If they don't know about evil they will probably be fooled when confronted with it when it comes

[lucienberl]

I agree. I learned about evil and good as a kid. Now i see evil and try to be good.

I was taught about evil from my history classes in high school, world history and American history. I don't know what happened between 2015 and now, but I was taught about the evils that had happened in the world and our nation from my teachers back in California. They never taught history with political ideologies EVER!

“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The state lacks the moral authority to teach about evil

I listened to this episode and it's one of my favorites. Mr. Prager, thank you for all you do.

[zahash]

They should also teach about the fire bombing of Tokyo.

And how generations of Africans were enslaved.

And how native Americans were massacred.

And how a million Iraqi civilians were killed.

And how bin Laden got funded.

They are taught about evil, that is, to be evil.

We need to support this kind of content.

Bc the definition of evil changes Dennis. The Spartans didn’t see it evil to kick newborns off cliffs but now we do. The Aztecs didn’t see it evil to rip the hearts out of people but now we do

[scottmesser]

The evils of money and political demons.

[andre-o-city]

Its funnier if you imagine hes dr doofenshmirtz telling perry about his daughter not being evil

[Orcasrule]

Prager University is the best as far as I'm concerned. I teach my son about the leftist public education. So he knows the truth

[johnluquer]

Yep. Just leaving a comment to help spread the words I agree with.

Actually yes Algebra is more important than teaching a child with no worldly experience about evil. Evil is a subject for the spirit, of right and wrong. Yes teach right and wrong but spirituality is a concept that should be experienced by the individual.

[guardduvie]

I like that he thinks kids are learning algebra still. 😅

[HeatherGrace]

They aren't even teaching about the Holocaust in schools anymore. My oldest was told by her history teacher that saying Hitler is bad is an OPINION.

[brndxt]

Evil in ascending order: Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.

Yes, Mao trumps (no pun intended) Stalin, who in turn trumps Hitler.

[amoeba]

Learning to distinguish and identify evil comes before being able to teach about it. The lines are blurred, and sadly, much evil is widely accepted, customary, promulgated and even defended.

Well we depend on what we call evil. What we determine as evil is based on our own morals we develop ourselves, also, it’s the people who failed to create a working communist state that had those people killed, not communism itself.
