$1.7 billion plan to preach humanity's 'goodness'
The federal program Job Corps will tap into a proposed $1.7 billion budget not simply to provide career-development services to at-risk men and women but to raise awareness of the “inherent goodness” found in each human being.
The money will be spent to make people feel good.
The “I Am Somebody” initiative for fiscal year 2015 will teach appreciation of “ethnic diversity” in response to problems among job training and other employment-assistance recipients, according to the project Statement of Work, or SOW, which WND located via routine database research.
“Recently Job Corps students have shown intolerance for students who look different than them or have abilities different from theirs,” according to the SOW.
“The workshop is designed to help Job Corps students, ages 16-24, appreciate the ethnic diversity at the Job Corps Center in which they are seeking their trade or higher education.”
The project’s name mirrors that of a poem frequently recited by Rev. Jesse Jackson and attributed to Rev. William H. Borders Sr.

I think Jesse Jackson holds a copyright on “I Am Somebody!”.
So he is probably renting the rights to the fed gov.
Brilliant!
This is nothing more than a crony payoff.
Precisely.
It is noting more than another federal jobs program for college graduates with useless degrees in community organizing.
Sounds like something out of Atlas Shrugged
There is no “inherent goodness” in humans, despite what the abject slaves of the Federal Government sing to each other to lull themselves in their chains to make the command of obey more palatable.
The spending spree going on will one day soon collapse us and “I am somebody” will quickly morph into “I ate somebody”
All the posters and songs and feel good tropisms will evaporate like a raindrop on a hot radiator.
“Recently Job Corps students have shown intolerance for students who look different than them or have abilities different from theirs,” according to the SOW.
“The workshop is designed to help Job Corps students, ages 16-24, appreciate the ethnic diversity at the Job Corps Center in which they are seeking their trade or higher education.”
All they need is proper instruction and a pep talk.
At risk = dog whistle
