I’m proud of them too. They should be ashamed of taking OUR money + our benefits and pretending to investigate their mosques. Excuse me?? And frankly, what/ who is giving out this kind of taxpayer money for this absurdity? I write grants for our community orchestra; when I discovered that every single governent ANYTHING gives grants for anything, it absolutely turned my stomach. Maybe we should have a Day Without Taxpayers and a march to go with it.

The grant was to “combat extremism,” but they will not accept extremism-combatting grant since Trump is President. Good. Throw the money into the sea instead; wouldn’t be any more wasted.

Fake news. They weren’t going to get the money anyway. Stopped by Trump.

I suspect some strings come with the money.

With Trump as President, those strings might be enforced.
