The State Department is offering up to a quarter million taxpayer dollars to an eligible nonprofit to teach Iraqi teenagers about climate activism.
Iraqi high schoolers could receive “Eco Action Clubs” bankrolled by taxpayers that will teach them how to advocate for environmental reform in their home country, according to a grant solicitation posted by the State Department earlier this month. The clubs will have several objectives, ranging from developing an “eco-agenda and action plan” which will generate “climate change solutions” to running a social media campaign to increase awareness of the climate crisis.

Under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the State Department has disbursed a number of grants aimed at tweaking education in the Middle East in ways that align with the Democratic domestic agenda.
The Biden-Harris administration posted a $12 million grant solicitation seeking to provide Iraqi colleges with resources to fight climate change and teach gender studies in May 2023, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The State Department also set aside $15 million in April 2023 to create “gender scholars” programs at Middle Eastern universities that sought to “support students to advance and deepen their engagement in gender studies” and “increase their participation in gender studies.”
The State Department’s new Iraqi climate program aims to identify and train 61 to 100 “young environmental champions” to engage in climate advocacy, according to the grant solicitation. These students are explicitly called to activism, with the grant saying they will “advocate for environmental reform” in Baghdad.

Iraqi HS students have more serious things to worry about than some stupid hoax...............
American tax payers have better things to spend their tax dollars on.
Every time you hear something about the Biden- Harris administration, it gets more idiotic.
Anyone in the media still think these two jackasses are “moderate”?
I think both of them are either on drugs - I suspect she’s on opioids and he’s on cocaine/meth, or they are both insane or they are insane and take drugs. Either way if they win, this country is in HUGE trouble.
Pretending that we could influence Iraqi students is amusing in itself.
But I suppose it could get pretty exciting if they threw some DEI stuff in with the weather forecast.
The key to the cause is indoctrination comrades.
Iraq was actually better off under Saddam as opposed to what it is now being a Iran proxy. I don’t condone anything that the blood thirsty tyrant did but the WMD clown show,nation building and democracy experiment wasn’t worth one dead American soldier or one American dollar.
Money skim.
Dear Uncle Sam,
Please stop squandering the money I send you.
Whatever touchy-feely cause or money laundering scheme you’re blowing it on, just stop. You’re hurting Americans.
Thank you.
Translation:
Someone who is in “The Club” with regards to the State Dept has devised a way to launder taxpayer money into their pockets. Of course, with a few bucks finding their way back to DC
Tell them it’s urgent—they must act now or their country will turn into a desert.
61-100 people could seriously influence a country of 42 million with an economy that is highly dependent on oil.
Does the State Department really want Iraqi oil production to decrease?
