PragerU is propaganda. It isn't, in any way, an academic organization. It's a YouTube channel that makes lecture-style videos that explicitly promote evangelical Christianity, political disinformation, anti-LGBTQ talking points, Islamophobia, and Anti-Semitism.

Its namesake is conservative talk radio host Dennis Prager. In no way, shape, or form should these videos be in America's classrooms.

Factsheet: PragerU - Bridge Initiative

PragerU, short for Prager University, is an American conservative organization that produces content to promote“Judeo-Christian values” to their millions of followers through short, lecture-style videos. Although it is not an academic institution, by using the word “university” in its title PragerU implies that the right-wing messaging they spread is factually correct and expert-driven. A number of PragerU’s videos spread anti-Muslim rhetoric and conspiracy theories.

Via @jdp23, the Senator behind the STOP CSAM bill, which outlaws many forms of encryption and doesn't actually stop CSAM, read that WaPo article about CSAM on the fediverse and tweeted about it:

Senator Dick Durbin on Twitter

““We got more photoDNA hits in a two-day period than we’ve probably had in the entire history of our organization of doing any kind of social media analysis, and it’s not even close.” We need the STOP CSAM Act. https://t.co/OQCokA71mF”
