Good. Hopefully that will mean 275 fewer communist demonstrators on our campuses.

Two labs at Kansas State University that work on global food security are scheduled to shut down in less than a month because the Trump administration has cut off funding.
K-State will shed about 10 jobs. Abroad, hundreds of low-income students that were recruited to advance sustainable agriculture in their countries will lose funding to go to college.
The two Feed the Future Innovation Labs will close on April 12, K-State announced in a news release. The closures are related to the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.
The lab was paying for about 275 students in very low-income countries to study agricultural techniques in their countries. This includes 120 undergraduate and 30 master's students in Haiti, and more in Cambodia, Ethiopia and Guatemala.
“ It’s devastating, it’s sad and it’s really heartbreaking,” said professor Vara Prasad, director of the Climate Resilient Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab. “We are talking about students, their dreams, their degrees and the livelihoods of people.”
The students generally are supporting many family members and they were learning valuable techniques to feed their communities. Now Prasad fears they will not have the resources to finish their degrees.
The lab hustled to find a way to continue its work, but the financial burden was too high.
That’s partly because the lab has more than $500 million in unpaid bills because USAID never reimbursed it for work dating back to October.

We’re they all trannies?
I don’t know why my phone doesn’t know the word, “were.” Always tries to autocorrect to “we’re.”
Gee, dig a small hole, drop in a seed, and water every few days. The sun will do the rest. This is just a scam. People have known how to grow food for thousands of years. End this non-sense in April.
If it’s a good cause they should be able to raise the money. Charitable contributions can be tax deductible if the paperwork is done.

Private funding support for Haiti? Paging the Clinton Foundation, the Haitians say they want their FRIGGIN MONEY!
Brandon's fault.
Not our problem.

“How about some private funding to support Haitian farmers?”
~the Clintons have left the building....
(with all the 💰💰💰)
How about these other countries pay for the tuition of the students they want to come over here and learn agriculture? How is that something that we owe for? No dice America is trying to tighten its belt and the party is over called Democrats. Hopefully we don’t want to see them again again unless it’s a pro-America.
Our tax money should not be going to feed students in a foreign country.
Good. Hopefully that will mean 275 fewer communist demonstrators on our campuses.
“...director of the Climate Resilient Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab.”
‘CRSIIL’ doesn’t have much of a ring to it. Maybe with a catchier name, some billionaire will fund ya!
lol.......dont give ‘em such good ideas.....
Why are jackasses from other countries coming here to go to college and morons from here are going to other countries to learn to read and write. Let’s keep our kids here and let other countries educate their own young skulls full of mush. Trump need to do everything he can to make sure the USAID Slush Fund ATM abroad remain shut down. It’s time to end that racket. America has played the sucker longed enough.
If it is such a good idea then their own government should pay for it. The corporate government media doesn’t want the foreign aid scam to end.
