The PragerU, the notorious right-wing fascist nonprofit propaganda machine
Brainwashing America’s kids with extremist fascist right-wing propaganda
By Lynda Carson - August 19, 2025
During World War ll, the monstrous mass murderer Adolf Hitler had Joseph Goebbels to run his propaganda machine, and in the year of tyranny in 2025 the fascist convicted felon President Donald J. Trump has teamed up with the Prager University Foundation, also known as PragerU, to help operate his right-wing fascist propaganda machine to brainwash America’s elementary school students.
The convicted felon President Trump is trying to turn the U.S. into a totalitarian prison camp, like in George Orwell’s 1984.
In a recent report by The Guardian, they are reporting, and in part it states, “Oklahoma’s top education official is reportedly introducing a new assessment for teachers coming from California and New York that will gauge their alignment with the so-called Sooner state’s conservative values.
Oklahoma’s public education superintendent, Ryan Walters, told USA Today and CNN that the 50-question certification exam – which is reportedly set to roll out in the coming days – will ask about topics such as the “biological differences between males and females”, freedom of religion and US history.
According to USA Today, the test also includes questions related to false claims that electoral fraudsters handed the 2020 presidential race to Joe Biden at the expense of Donald Trump, who returned to the White House in January.
The conservative media company PragerU reportedly developed the test.”
This sounds like an Orweilian version of 1984, made for 2025.
PragerU, A Company Backed By Trump’s White House.
Reportedly, according to Buzzfeed, PragerU, “A Company Backed By Trump's White House Shared A Video For Kids Saying "Slavery Is Better Than Being Killed," And People Are Furious.”
That’s right, right-wing extremists are teaching elementary students that “Being a slave, is better than being killed… Click here for more, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/odmYwtVzASM .
Reportedly https://www.instagram.com/p/DNgh9AKSSRF/ , “After defunding PBS, NPR, and public broadcasting https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2025/08/02/18878678.php , the White House has announced that the right-wing network PragerU will be its new educational partner to teach children.
Additionally, reportedly the extremist right-wing fascist propaganda organization PragerU, unveils the Founders Museum at the White House; https://www.prageru.com/videos/prageru-unveils-the-founders-museum-at-the-white-house .
How a conservative group’s videos gained a foothold in classrooms with help from Republican officials, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/education/prageru-conservative-videos-classrooms-republican-officials-help-rcna131613 . Reportedly, “The promotional videos all start the same: Each begins with Marissa Streit, chief executive of PragerU, the conservative nonprofit primarily known for producing web videos featuring right-wing pundits and short documentaries criticizing progressive policies.
Streit introduces a top state education official, who then raves about the new partnership between PragerU and their state’s public schools.
In one clip, Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters says he “could not be more excited to get this content into our classrooms,” adding that he used PragerU videos himself as a history teacher.
New Hampshire Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut, in his appearance, explains enthusiastically that students in his state can use PragerU videos to meet a high school graduation requirement, noting, “It’s quality content — it’s highly engaging for the kids.”
That’s right, PragerU, an unaccredited institution and conservative media nonprofit that seeks to promote right-leaning values, kicked off its partnership by creating AI-generated videos of the Founding Fathers giving patriotic statements at a White House exhibit.
Their videos also include common alt-right talking points that include climate change denial and denying America’s racist history.”
The notorious extremist right-wing PragarU propaganda machine has recently made a lot of headlines across the nation for teaching elementary school students that slavery was “no big deal.” Imagine that. According to PragerU in an animated video of theirs for elementary school students, they are claiming that “being a slave, is better than being killed.” Click here for PragerU animated propaganda video for children called - Christopher Columbus: Explorer of the New World | Leo & Layla's History Adventures | PragerU Kids - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux54IJ06uHg .

According to a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, in part it states, “Despite its name, Prager University, more commonly known as PragerU, is not an accredited academic institution in any sense. Instead, it specializes in promoting far-right propaganda through professionally produced media. The organization, which claims it “promotes the American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” perpetrates far-right ideology vilifying the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants and people of color.”
