The National Endowment For The Arts Funds Political Propaganda
Would the federal government ever fund a sculpture promoting the Second Amendment? No. So why does it fund projects promoting open borders?

A play promoting the benefits of entitlement reform. A sculpture honoring the Second Amendment. An exhibition displaying the history of traditional marriage. None of these projects has received taxpayer funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), or ever will. But the reverse is true for pet issues of the Left.
Dear Taxpayers: Thanks for Paying Us to Inform Your Politics
Taxpayers funded a play that centers on Michael Brown, which employs the thoroughly debunked “hands up, don’t shoot” meme.
Name a liberal political issue—gun control, climate change, open immigration, gender identity—and you can find a government-funded art project that promotes it.
“It may have set some kind of speed record for turning a news event into a theatrical one,” Peter Marks began his review for the Washington Post in November 2014. “Three months after Ferguson, Mo., became a household name, the city’s unrest over a white police officer’s killing of a black teenager has been incorporated into a play.”
The play, “Collidescope: Adventures in Pre- and Post-Racial America,” put on by the New York City theater group Ping Chong and Company, was not the only theatrical production to receive NEA funding on such a political topic. “We Are Dinosaurs” secured $15,000 to “explore race relations in our country with a focus on the recent deaths of young African-American men in police shootings.”
