PragerU Poised to Exploit PBS Cuts with Right-Wing Propaganda
The recent GOP-led budget cuts, backed by Donald Trump, threaten to significantly reduce funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, jeopardizing educational programming on PBS. This move opens the door for right-wing organizations like PragerU to fill the void, which openly aims to indoctrinate children with conservative ideologies. PragerU is already gaining traction by partnering with states to produce educational materials and is even being promoted by the White House, suggesting a shift in support away from PBS and towards conservative-leaning content. This raises concerns about the future of children’s educational content and the potential for increased political influence in the classroom.
