2025-08-08 PragerU announced plans to totally replace PBS with conservative programming for children. Some example material includes:

Who’s behind the anti-ICE riots
How Foreign aid keeps Africa poor
Laughter on Lockdown featuring Roseanne Barr
Their Lives Mattered - a spin off the Black Lives Matter movement

And an artificially generated AI version of John Adams who tells children, “Facts do not care about your feelings”.
The quote “Facts do not care about your feelings” comes from right-wing influencer and propagandist Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro, who accuses public schools of being “almost designed to be anti-Catholic indoctrination centers”.
