Hey John,

Earlier this year our Arizona newsroom, The Copper Courier, was the first to break the story about PragerU ’s mission to put right-wing misinformation in Arizona’s public schools.

We’ll talk more about PragerU and why this matters in a second, but breaking important stories like these takes a tremendous amount of resources. If you want to help us continue to inform people in news deserts around the country about the issues in their communities, can you pitch in $15? [[link removed]]

Alright, John, if you’ve never heard of the right-wing media company PragerU, buckle up.

PragerU is a right-wing media company that produces short animated videos with titles like “What Radical Islam and the Woke Have in Common" and "Is There Really a Climate Emergency?"

They even have guest courses from pundits like Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens.

The group’s CEO has argued that public schools are a “left-wing propaganda machine,” and that PragerU can be the “inoculation” against left-wing misinformation. ​​ This includes an animated Christopher Columbus saying: "Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no? I don't see the problem."

John, PragerU is leading an aggressive marketing campaign to get in as many public schools as possible. Arizona is the fifth state to allow their videos in classrooms, and they’re looking to expand into as many states as possible.

COURIER can hold these state officials accountable and make sure people know exactly what PragerU is. Parents in these states deserve to know what their kids might be learning in school. That’s why we need to tell these stories.

COURIER operates newsrooms like The Copper Courier in ten battleground states across the country, providing breaking local news stories like these for free. We don’t rely on paywalls or subscriptions – instead we count on generous supporters like you. Can you chip in $15 now to help our newsrooms? [[link removed]]
