    There are schools in Baltimore and Chicago which have zero kids reading and doing math at grade level and the left's frequent solution is to spend more money on schools and pay the teachers more. So with those failing schools in mind where does Biden spend our money? In Iraq.

    I'm sure the most urgent thoughts on the minds of Middle East Muslims are global warming and gender diversity. The trannies in Iraq must be thrilled at the notion of saving the planet by purchasing electric cars.

    Red State and your analysis of this are not an accurate in this simplistic description of this proposed grant. The grant is to hear proposals to improve Iraq's university system.
    The grant mentions diversity only in stating that the people of Iraq are diverse. There is no mention of teaching diversity.
    The grant mentions adaptions in civil and energy engineering, earth sciences and natural resource management, public policy and law, and public health and their possible impact on climate change.
    The grant does not include diversity and is not limited to climate change. Here is the grant description:


    The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC), seeks applications to support and strengthen American-style IHE in Iraq. With this announcement, NEA/AC seeks to support multiple awards with the objective of building and increasing the institutional capacity of IHEs in Iraq. Proposals shall address ways to develop new and ongoing partnerships between IHEs in Iraq and higher education institutions in the United States. Focus should be given to building the capacity of IHEs and educational systems in Iraq to meet American higher education standards. Proposals will be structured to establish sustainable partnerships which in the short-term produce meaningful institutional improvements and in the long-term help achieve formal accreditation by U.S. authorities. Additionally, projects will provide financial assistance to recruit and retain students who are representative of Iraq’s diverse ethnic, geographic, and religious communities. Where possible, proposals should seek to support disciplines and skills relevant for the adaptation to and mitigation of the impacts of climate change. These may include but need not be limited to programs related to civil and energy engineering, earth sciences and natural resource management, public policy and law, and public health.
