PragerU Kids

PragerU Kids is the children's division of the conservative media organisation PragerU, created by Dennis Prager and kickstarted with venture capital from fossil fuel billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks.[1] PragerU Kids came to wider media attention in the United States following the state of Florida's decision to allow PragerU Kids videos to be shown in the state's schools.[2]

Much of the content of PragerU Kids has come under scrutiny of media experts and educators, with examples being given of PragerU Kids videos which downplay the harm of Slavery in the United States, distort the history of the American Civil War, demonize the Black Lives Matter movement, and attempt to analogize open climate change denial with the Warsaw Uprising.[3] Other messages within PragerU Kids videos include attempts to morally justify the British colonisation of India under the pretext of spreading Christianity, attack Canada's national healthcare service, and defend Israel against allegations of human rights abuses.[3] In one PragerU Kids video, George Floyd, an American man who was murdered by a police officer who knelt on his neck, was described by PragerU Kids primarily as a "Black man who resisted arrest.”[3] Some of the episodes are narrated by conservative media personalities Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.[4]
