This is PragerU, the fake university propaganda channel that is sinking its tendrils into public education: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/prag...

To quote CaptainNoBoat on Reddit:

"They have videos on: Climate denialism (with a video literally called 'Fossil Fuels: The Greenest Energy.')

How fascism is a left-wing ideology.

'Southern strategy' was a myth.

Immigration is crippling Europe.

Anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminism content.

Christopher Columbus is in one children's video downplaying slavery as a cheery-eyed cartoon character.

And my favorite video title: 'Dangerous People Are Teaching Your Kids.'"


Damn, didn't know about this. So it is much worse than I thought :(


Very good to hear this, I'm glad they're getting the message out. It's an ongoing medical scandal that isn't getting sufficient mainstream coverage.

The people featured in this film have been irreparably harmed by ideologically-driven medical abuse. Their stories must be heard, to prevent others from suffering the same fate.


If there’s a story here, I’d rather hear it from a reputable source rather than a far-right propaganda rag.
