Feds Spent $800,000 of Economic Stimulus on African Genital-Washing Program
CNS News ^ | September 13, 2010

Posted on 09/13/2010 7:43:00 AM PDT by La Lydia

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the study is set to end in 2011...

Because AIDS researchers have been unsuccessful in convincing most adult African men to undergo circumcision, the UCLA study proposes to determine whether researchers can develop an after-sex genitalia-washing regimen that they can then convince uncircumcised African men to follow...

The study’s lead investigator Dr. Thomas J. Coates was the fourth highest-funded researcher in the country in 2002 and is currently conducting HIV research on three continents. CNSNews.com asked both Coates and NIMH the following question: “The Census Bureau says the median household income in the United States is $52,000. How would you explain to the average American mom and dad -- who make $52,000 per year -- that taxing them to pay for this grant was justified?”

Coates, who was unavailable for comment, directed CNSNews.com to ask grant-related questions of his assistant, Darya Freedman, who did not respond. The NIMH also declined to respond to CNSNews.com’s question.

Depends on who's doing the washing, I guess.

You know, this story is all over the internet, but not a peep in the MSM. Has anyone heard mention on the radio?

I could have saved them a lot of that money. All they needed to do was to install a bunch of these around the hood:

Notice how green they are, too.

I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like that would be painful. However, I am gaining a clear understanding of what men are always yucking it up about on the golf course.

We ought to allow the Moslems to conquer the area. I have read that forced circumcision is part of the “submission to Allah” process. It wouldn’t cost us a thing.
