Trumps fetish with repealing and replacing everything Obama's Admin did is sad!

Bigly! Today he is shutting down a MO initiative with the peace corps called, "Let girls learn."

It was an initiative started to :

quote:

"Let Girls Learn" was an inter-governmental initiative run primarily at the Peace Corps and the United States Agency for International Development. A spokesman for the Peace Corps said Monday the agency would continue its efforts toward girls' education. "The Peace Corps continues to prioritize girls' education and empowerment programming," the spokesman said. "Girls' education and empowerment has been a hallmark of our work over the past 56 years and we look forward to continuing those efforts with our interagency partners. We remain dedicated to the passionate work of our volunteers and staff to empower and educate girls in their communities."

Doesn't Ivanka champion gender roles and powerful women? She's is also full of it herself?

Trump seems more obsessed with tarnishing and ruining Obamas legacy than doing right by this country. He's using his presidency to settle a petty grudge against a man that he initially attacked for no reason what so ever.

It's pathetic a spit to the great office of our presidency. Never seen a man let someone else's accomplishments make him seem so small.

SAD!

Oddly enough, undoing those accomplishments also betters our country... Hmm... strange....

While aspects of the initiative's programming will continue, employees have been told to stop using the "Let Girls Learn" name and were told that, as a program unto itself, "Let Girls Learn" was ending.



oh CNN trolled StrongSafety with a #FakeNews headline!

Are we shutting down all our humanitarian efforts? That's what made us great as well.

It's not a bullshite program, and it's appalling that some Americans think that's helping others out in need is not a worthy cause. Not very judeo-Christian of y'all

WTF does this even mean? Can you please tell me all that you know about this program and how it operates? Nebulous, haughty "goal" names mean nothing to me.

JEEBUS! Just how long was Obama POTUS?

I mean, you seem to imply that Obama did something "important" here. Yet, the organization says they've been doing that for 56 years! Something is amiss.

Lol, "we" do not even do a very good job of educating kids in this country, so why in the hell are we trying to focus on educating people in other countries?

After looking it up, this is what I found:

quote:

International Day of the Girl provides us the opportunity to take stock of this Administration’s progress around Let Girls Learn, an initiative that employs a whole-of-government approach to helping adolescent girls around the world get a quality education that empowers them to reach their full potential. As we look towards the future, it is clear that educating girls is among the most strategic and effective investments we can make to achieve our foreign policy and sustainable development goals, which is why the President and First Lady launched Let Girls Learn in March 2015. This Administration’s holistic approach towards girls’ education includes investments of more than $1 billion dollars in new and ongoing programming by the U.S. Government in more than 50 countries, and has established nearly 100 private sector partnerships to promote adolescent girls’ education around the world. To continue these efforts, the President’s FY 2017 Budget requested more than $100 million in new funds for Let Girls Learn.


whitehouse

I mean why? $1.1 billion for adolescent girls in 50 countries not including our own?
