Anyone think our tax dollars should be spent on this nonsense? If so, make your case and cite the part of the Constitution that allows spending tax dollars on this.
FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration is slashing millions of dollars in DEI grants from a library and museum system as part of its overall Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) push to rid the government of waste, fraud and abuse.
The administration is cutting $15 million from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the form of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) grants in a move the agency says is aligned with both DOGE and President Donald Trump’s executive orders aimed at eliminating DEI from the federal government.
The grants include $6.7 million to the California State Library to enhance equitable library programs and $4 million to the Washington State Library for diverse staff development and incarcerated support.
A $1.5M DEI grant to the Connecticut State Library system to "integrate social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion" into their daily operations is also being cut along with $700,000 for a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit to study "post-pandemic DEI practices" in American children’s museums that would formulate "enhanced equity-focused strategies.
Additionally, a DEI grant of $265,000 going to Queens College in New York to conduct a research project on why "BIPOC" teens read Japanese comic books will be cut along with $250,000 to fund the "Gay Ohio History Initiative" to erect 10 "LGBTQ+ historical markers" will be cut.
