Prager U is teaching what left wing institutions are avoiding

Legal Insurrection:
Here at LI, we love PragerU and often share their excellent videos with our readers. So it was with great interest that I read an article at BuzzFeed about “How PragerU Is Winning The Right-Wing Culture War Without Donald Trump.” They don’t quite get it because they can’t quite wrap their minds around PragerU’s focus on ideas rather than on politicians or parties.

The BuzzFeed article begins by relating the experience of a 15-year-old high school sophomore who was intrigued by PragerU videos.

The video that hooked him was this one on Iran and the Bomb:



From there, BuzzFeed reports, this student began watching other PragerU videos, and the student said that it took about two months “to clear out my beliefs and reform them.” He is now a 19-year-old conservative.

BuzzFeed is appalled that such a thing can happen right under their noses. After citing some pretty impressive PragerU viewership numbers (about a billion), BuzzFeed muses that “it all adds up to an audience at a scale that makes PragerU unique among conservative media organizations. In fact, it’s much closer in size to the major digital-first players in news video: Vice, AJ+, BuzzFeed, and Huffington Post
...
There is much including several more Prager U videos.  They are all excellent. If you have not seen them you should take a look.

I used to wonder why Google decided to demonetize Prager U.  I am now fairly certain it is not because its content is wrong or misleading, but because it is right and it is effective at changing minds that have been poisoned by the evils of liberalism.
