Last month’s elimination of federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting spells the end of a half-century of its support of public television in the United States. This week, Ali Velshi examines what the government has in store to replace the vital educational programming we are losing.

The drastic impact of these cuts will be felt hardest in rural areas, but also in educational programming for home and schools, as PBS is where Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street were created. These kids’ shows have taught social and emotional skills, science readiness, and literacy to children aged two to five.

In some classrooms, educational programming like PBS Kids is being replaced with videos from PragerU. Despite the name, PragerU is not a school; it’s an unaccredited media organization that “promotes American values” to children. Its videos spout conservative Christian views on creation and gender, racist stereotypes, and cast slavery in a positive light.

Unsurprisingly, PragerU has found an ally in the Trump White House and is presenting itself as the “conservative” option to PBS. With partnerships in 10 states already, the company has plans to expand its reach.

Velshi sits down with MSNBC’s Antonia Hylton and Oklahoma State Representative and social studies teacher John Waldron, who warns of the organization’s infiltration into how the state is hiring teachers and the White Nationalist Christian doctrines its putting in our schools.
