> The conservative media nonprofit makes short, well-produced videos crafted to appeal to college students and young people. It has polished animations and titles like "What Radical Islam and the Woke Have in Common" and "Is There Really a Climate Emergency?"
> Educators have voiced alarms about the tone and accuracy of some of PragerU's videos, such as one that features an animated Christopher Columbus saying: "Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no? I don't see the problem."
Wow, that's some bold choice of words they've used.
That's not really the correct metric. It seems bold by today's standards, but is it something Columbus would have likely thought at the time? It doesn't seem that far off to me given the prevailing mindsets of the time.
Oh NPR. Notice how the headline characterizes an adversarial relationship. Alt headline “PragerU is introducing diversity into schools that’s more than skin deep.”
Socialism and its more authoritarian affiliates are not kindness. They bear false witness in economics, consolidate social power, crush the human spirit, and typically end in nihilistic, untethered depravity.
Have you actually seen their videos? They are far from the quality you get from PBS. Fact checking Prager U videos often takes 30+ min to go over a 5-10 min video.

Not just in what they flag in Prager or whatever online source (I don’t really care), but also in what they don’t flag PBS or VOA for.
