The White House is partnering with PragerU.
The conservative, biased education company is already making AI content in a series launched with the Trump administration.
And new reporting suggests the White House could be eying PragerU as a substitute for PBS.

Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.

It IS conversion therapy.
