YouTube is apparently censoring Prager University’s videos for reasons that don’t quite add up. The conservative, nonprofit educational organization that also goes by PragerU produces short, educational videos. It released a statement Tuesday decrying YouTube’s decision to put 21 of its videos on “restricted mode.”

 

“There is no excuse for Google and YouTube censoring and restricting any PragerU videos, which are produced with the sole intent of educating people of all ages about America’s founding values,” the statement reads.

 

Schools and parents often set their YouTube accounts to restricted mode to steer children away from inappropriate or obscene content, but none of PragerU’s videos contain adult material. The videos are intentionally G-rated in an effort to educate and engage all audiences.

 

A complete list of all 21 videos that have been placed on restricted mode can be found here. A few include: “Are The Police Racist?” “Why Don’t Feminists Fight for Muslim Women?” and “Who’s More Pro-Choice: Europe or America?

 

Google has since doubled down on its decision to make PragerU’s videos inaccessible to many of its users.
