Podcast appearances and mentions of john knefel

On this week's Lever Time, Audit hosts and friends of the show Josh Olson and Dave Anthony are joined by journalist and media expert John Knefel to discuss how the conservative propaganda operation PragerU landed a major new partnership with Florida's public schools.PragerU produces short-form video content on politics, social issues, and history. The media organization's stated goal is to “promote American values through the creative use of educational videos” and “[offer] a free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education.” In 2021 PragerU launched PragerU Kids, focused on “educational content for children.” Now PragerU has raised the stakes, as it was recently announced that PragerU Kids content has been approved as supplemental teaching material in Florida public schools — even though PragerU is not an accredited educational institution. Prager isn't planning to stop there: They recently published an online petition to get their content into schools across the country. Hosts Josh and Dave, who examined the rise of PragerU in the latest season of The Audit, sit down with John to discuss PragerU's official entry into the American education system. They break down how PragerU managed to get approved in Florida, how their work plays into the larger conservative movement to capture public education and siphon taxpayer money to fund charter schools, and what parents can do to stop PragerU from indoctrinating children.A transcript of this episode is available here.Links: The lessons Florida public school students will learn from PragerU Kids (Media Matters, 2023) Florida's conservative PragerU teaching texts labeled ‘indoctrination' (Tampa Bay Times, 2023) What It Means That Florida Will Allow Conservative PragerU Content in Schools (Time, 2023) BONUS: On Monday's bonus episode of Lever Time Premium, exclusively for The Lever's supporting subscribers, we published our recent live chat with Yale law professor Samuel Moyn where we examined whether or not Congress has the authority to regulate the Supreme Court and the troubling legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts.If you'd like access to Lever Time Premium, which includes extended interviews and bonus content, head over to LeverNews.com to become a supporting subscriber.If you'd like to leave a tip for The Lever, click the following link.

A bitter, cynical and jaded Jon Clarke, Mike Drucker, Billy the Kid and John Knefel wade through a bitter, cynical and jaded Hollywood blockbuster. Nothing is good in this except a guy who looks like Trafton Crandall.
