As public schools around the United States suffer through a perpetual financial crisis, the Obama administration commits a breathtaking $70 million to help educate girls in a terrorist nation known as Al Qaeda headquarters.
It’s part of the First Lady’s initiative (Let Girls Learn) to educate and empower an estimated 62 million girls in third-world countries who are not in school. A noble cause indeed, but it’s costing American taxpayers huge sums while kids—especially minorities—in this country struggle in schools that aren’t adequately funded, according to public education advocates. “We know that countries with more girls in secondary school tend to have lower maternal mortality rates, lower infant mortality rates, lower rates of HIV/AIDS, and better child nutrition,” according to the initiative’s website. “But too often, a girl who could change her world for the better is locked out of that future by the circumstances of her birth or the customs of her community.”
So it’s Uncle Sam to the rescue. The government of Pakistan, which is included in the State Department’s Country Reports on Terrorism, will get the $70 million to promote education among 200,000 girls and young women age 10-19. The announcement was initially made during a White House event this month with the wife and daughter of Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif. The program will serve as a platform and catalyst for broader political and social commitment to strengthen girls’ education and empowerment in Pakistan, according to a government announcement. “Young women in Pakistan face barriers and lack of access to education opportunities from an early age due to poverty, cultural norms, and geographic isolation,” the announcement states.

Will she be teaching them how to text and drive too? That would be sooo empowering!
Slush fund expenditure.
$70M for Pakistan?
I think I need to send her a photo of me holding a hashtag that reads, #BringBackOurMoney
Borrowing your grandkid’s money to throw it down the s$%# hole. Brought to you by a woman who couldn’t manage a McDonalds.
Are we arming them? I guess NO. So therefore....they are doomed. There is hope for them however...most of their “men” are leaving them behind to invade and destroy Europe and the West....
I’m just saying......
She only has 14 more months to squander our money. Time is of the essence, doncha know.
If you or I had the resources to follow the money trail, I would be willing to bet some of Michelle's cronies are benefiting from this boondoggle.
And the Hillaryites are moaning about the 4.5 million spent on the Benghazi hearings.
Exactly.
Look at the contract for the first version of the Obamacare website—an old classmate of hers was high in the company.
So stupid it hurts.
Money laundering.
$70 LARGE will make it to ‘Rat coffers, and to the Obunga version of the Krinton Crime Family Slushfund. But it WILL NOT go to educate females in Muslim dominated, Sharia saturated Indonesia. It’s illegal to educate females under Sharia. This little caper by Moochelle is as blatant as they come.
Do they get their clits back?
Just give the $70 million to Malala, who has done more in her short life than the overfed underbred Michelle will ever accomplish
Much money-laundering?
$5mm is too much to spend investigating Benghazi but $70mm for girls in Pakistan is fine???
...and these criminals say there is no money to help Veterans. Criminal degenerate subhumans.
The empowerment the women in muslim countries need is to reject islam.
Just imagine if a thousand women either cut off their hubby’s pecker while he slept or outright killed him for the abuse they’ve suffered? And another thousand the next day? Men may think twice.
Now this is truly an example of cultural imperialism and the arrogance of one that knows better than those inferior underlings - the Obama mindset.
