Homeschooled High Schooler

|
| Well, it is what it is, and we have to fight it. | |
| And that's what I do every day. | |
| It's a sick world of the left. | |
| It's sick. | |
| It's pathologic. | |
| It's pathologic. | |
| One of the things that PragerU is doing is PragerForce 15,000 young people around the world. | |
| And on this final day of fundraising, I am interviewing a... | |
| High school student who's in Prager Forest in Brentwood, Tennessee, Matthew Mason. | |
| Matthew, it's a pleasure to meet you. | |
| Thank you, Mr. Prager. | |
| It's great to be on your show. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Tell me a little about yourself. | |
| Are you in high school? | |
| Are you homeschooled? | |
| Which? | |
| Well, I am of high school age, but I am currently being homeschooled. | |
| At what age did you begin? | |
| Kindergarten, I've always been homeschooled. | |
| Oh, you've always been homeschooled. | |
| By the way, one of the reasons I immediately asked was you said Mr. Prager. | |
| That is very often a giveaway that somebody has actually... | |
| I don't have a problem with Dennis, but I do admire the way you were raised in that regard. | |
| Are you intending to go to a college? | |
| Yeah, I think I will go to college. | |
| Are you aware, having been homeschooled, what colleges typically teach, or shall I say indoctrinate? | |
| Yeah, I think I have, because I've, you know, seen a lot of campus lectures, and I stay pretty informed. | |
| But I am planning, I'm probably going to one of the more conservative colleges that's also Christian. | |
| I'm not planning going to, you know, UC Berkeley or anything. | |
| Right, okay, so in that sense you're... | |
| You're one of the few, actually, colleges, not even all Christian colleges have been untainted by you don't know the gender of a child when it's born. | |
| Are you familiar with that argument that there is no such thing as fixed gender? | |
| Yeah, I am. | |
| It's kind of like the idea that, like, your mind is all that matters and your physical body doesn't matter. | |
| I mean, I don't find it very convincing, but I think that's the basis of it. | |
| So, how, being homeschooled, have you become aware of what's going on out there? | |
| Well, I mean, I think how I'm more aware is that I, well, I listen to, you know, a lot of lectures. | |
| I listen to you. | |
| I listen to, you know, Charlie Kirk. | |
| I listen to Ben Shapiro. | |
| You know, they talk about it a lot, so I think that's probably the main source of information I'm, you know, where I'm getting. | |
| How did you discover PragerU? | |

Virtual Events and Zoom Meetings
00:01:55
|
|
| Well, I was actually listening to a lecture by Charlie Kirk, and he mentioned PragerU during the lecture, so I checked it out. | |
| I loved your guys' videos, and I wanted to get involved, so I joined PragerForce. | |
| Have you been at any meetings to meet other PragerForce members? | |
| Well, I've been on virtual events. | |
| I joined this past summer in June, and obviously there's been a lot of lockdowns already, so I don't think... | |
| There's been a lot of in-person events yet. | |
| There have been Zoom meetings? | |
| Yes, I've done some Zoom meetings. | |
| Oh, that's wonderful. | |
| Now, do you have a way to, through social media, mouth-to-mouth, Zoom-to-Zoom, way of spreading word about our videos? | |
| Yeah, I have a Twitter account. | |
| That's my main. | |
| I like to retweet your guys' videos and comment on things and such. | |
| And I always ask this, and I'll just preface it by noting, I always, in years, it's amazing to me, I've always gotten a different answer. | |
| Do you have a favorite PragerU video? | |
| Yes, I do. | |
| Drumroll, please. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| Okay, and it's one of the videos that you did. | |
| I believe it's actually your most recent one. | |
| It's how the left sees the world, power, race, and class. | |
| That's right. | |
| That has not been chosen yet. | |
| Power, race, and class. | |
| That's exact. | |
| Yes. | |
| All right, hold on with me. | |
| Just a couple of more questions. | |
| This young man will be spreading the word. | |
