Conservative nonprofit obtains Montana textbook license

A newly licensed textbook dealer, Prager University, is generating national backlash over its push against ‘dominant left-wing ideology’ in schools.

A national nonprofit recently licensed to provide instructional materials to Montana public schools is sparking controversy elsewhere in the country over its conservative leanings and its products’ handling of topics such as slavery, climate change and colonialism.

“The Superintendent does not believe that licensing of textbook dealers should be politicized. The Superintendent does not review the content of textbooks, this is left to the local school district when making the decision to use curriculum material from a licensed dealer.”
