"Give us five minutes, and we'll give you a semester"

PragerU was founded by longtime conservative radio host Dennis Prager and his then-producer Allen Estrin in 2009 to promote conservative values through courses taught in five-minute videos.

"We used to say in the early days, 'Give us five minutes, and we'll give you a semester,'" Estrin told The New York Times in 2020.

PragerU openly admits it is not an accredited university. The nonprofit media organization produces thousands of "edutainment" videos on topics from history to science, garnering millions of views.

But PragerU has faced criticism for misleading and inaccurate content, most recently for an episode of its PragerU Kids series, Leo & Layla's History Adventures, in which Christopher Columbus tells two time-traveling siblings, "Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no? I don't see the problem."
