The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.

The Trump administration under President Donald Trump (in office since January 2025) has indeed taken steps to reduce funding for PBS and promote alternative educational content sources.

Prager University (PragerU) is a conservative nonprofit organization founded by Dennis Prager. It produces short videos with ideological content but is not an accredited university and does not grant degrees.

Multiple sources confirm that the administration is spotlighting PragerU as an educational partner to fill the void left by PBS defunding, effectively positioning it as a replacement in some educational contexts.

Critics describe PragerU as a far-right propaganda outlet due to its strongly ideological and partisan content, which contrasts with PBS's traditionally nonpartisan public broadcasting mission.

While the claim that the Trump administration is 'seeking to replace PBS with PragerU' is broadly accurate in terms of policy direction and promotion, it should be noted that this is part of a broader political and cultural agenda rather than a formal institutional replacement.

The characterization of PragerU as 'not actually a university' is factually correct since it lacks accreditation and does not function as a degree-granting institution.
