"In the fall of 2013, Dennis Prager flew to Texas to woo rightwing billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks, who agreed to donate $1 million annually for seven years to PragerU."
"The partnership ended when the Wilks brothers objected to a PragerU video featuring a conservative gay commentator, which contradicted their traditional views."
"Despite Prager's softened views on homosexuality, the Wilks demanded changes to PragerU's content, leading to the dissolution of their financial support."
In 2013, Dennis Prager sought funding from billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks to expand PragerU. They agreed to donate $1 million annually for seven years. However, tensions arose when PragerU published a video featuring a conservative gay commentator, which conflicted with the Wilks' traditional views. Despite Prager's evolving stance on LGBTQ+ issues, the Wilks demanded changes, leading to the dissolution of their partnership. By that time, PragerU had become financially independent and no longer required the Wilks' support.
