    PragerU has produced anti-climate policy videos since shortly after it began in 2009. The Prager foundation has received millions of dollars from the billionaire brothers, Farris and Dan Wilks of Texas, who made their fortune in fracking.

    PragerU has received additional funding from foundations that oppose climate regulations such as the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

    PragerU CEO Streit said her group has tapped into angry parents who want their politics reflected more in classrooms.

    Yup.
