    Ep. 144: PragerU CEO: Woke Education Leads to Attacks on Jews

    Ep. 144: PragerU CEO: Woke Education Leads to Attacks on Jews

    Leftist ideology has permeated everything from mainstream culture to news, literature, entertainment and even children's education. It has also led to a huge upsurge in antisemitism and anti-Israel violence in LA and other major cities throughout the US. However, it seems a large portion of Americans are not buying it.

    To discuss all this and more, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin speaks with the CEO of Prager U Marissa Streit. She discusses the importance of alternative sources of information in the face of the dominant left-wing ideology, big tech censorship, the ADL and the need for the Jewish community to stand up to an agenda that ultimately leads to attacks on Jews.
