Federal Grants Under Biden Administration Fund Gender Ideology Projects
The Biden administration's allocation of over $174 million in federal grants for gender ideology projects has sparked controversy, drawing criticism from conservative groups and raising questions about government spending.
The federal government under the Biden administration allocated over $174 million in grants and contracts aimed at promoting various projects related to gender ideology, according to a new database called "Funding Insanity."
Terry Schilling, President of the American Principles Project, stated that taxpayers expect their money to be utilized for enhancing national defense, infrastructure, and environmental protection, rather than "radical gender agenda" projects.
The American Principles Project published this database revealing numerous initiatives that received significant amounts of federal funding to promote left-wing gender ideology.
In one major example, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) granted $1,929,783 to the American Bar Association to "shield" LGBTQI+ individuals in the Western Balkans, focusing on strengthening human rights and democracy.
Another notable grant of $600,000 from the Department of Agriculture was awarded to Southern University A&M in Louisiana to study menstrual cycles, which includes research on transgender men and non-binary individuals.
Further, USAID allocated $1,065,702 to support a welfare group in Bangladesh aimed at helping gender diverse individuals, and the State Department spent nearly $25,000 on a theater production of "The Vagina Monologues" in India.
Schilling emphasized the need for changes within the federal government regarding the use of taxpayer money for such initiatives, citing the desire of the American people for accountability and efficiency.
The article discusses the growing tensions between the Trump administration's initiatives to restructure USAID and the responses from Democratic lawmakers, raising questions about the future of these funding initiatives.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the actions of the Trump administration in re-evaluating the efficiency of governmental agencies against claims of inciting violence from Democrat officials.
