US EditionWhite House Endorses PragerU as Official PBS Replacement in Schools
UNITED STATES, AUG 8 – Congressional Republicans cut over $500 million in funding for public broadcasting, prompting the White House to partner with PragerU as a conservative educational alternative.
- Last week, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced its shutdown after Congress clawed back over 500 million dollars, and last month the White House debuted PragerU as a new educational partner.
- Over last week, Congress clawed back over $500 million in federal funding, endangering local PBS and NPR stations, as CPB announced its shutdown.
- Since 2009 PragerU videos have reached millions, critics say they elevate narratives criticized as climate denialist, Islamophobic, and 'misleading' about slavery.
- PragerU's state partnerships, discussed by Sean Rameswaram and Laura Meckler, involve about eight states that adopt its content without mandates.
- Critics note these moves reflect a broader ideological push by the administration to target liberal-leaning media and defund outlets like PBS and NPR.
