Democrats have never met a marginalized group that they didn’t rush to embrace, with the transgender movement being the latest cause du jour.
With Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warning that the United States may run out of cash by June 1 if Congress fails to raise or suspend the debt ceiling, and Senate Democrats refusing to take action on a debt limit bill passed by the Republican-controlled Congress, the Biden administration is investing half a million dollars into “intensive professional development courses” for transgender youth — in Pakistan.
The $500,000 grant is intended to help Pakistanis learn the English language, with the carve-out for transgender youth being part of the program, according to Fox News.
Then again, what’s a half million bucks when the U.S. debt limit stands at $31.4 trillion?
More from the network:
The State Department grant said it is aimed at teaching English language skills to Pakistani youth so they can “better participate in the global community and prepare them for success in the workplace.” The grant aims to reach that goal by focusing on three components: “(1) Professional Development for English Language Teachers from Non-Mainstream Institutions; (2) Professional Development for novice Pakistani English language teachers; and (3) Professional Development for Transgender Youth and for Afghan Teachers, Students, and Young Professionals Residing in Pakistan.”
The program component that includes a focus on transgender youth accepts proposals from applicants “for a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $75,000 to implement: (1) intensive professional development courses for Pakistani transgender youth from the ages of 13-25, and (2) and intensive professional development courses for Afghan teachers, students, and young professionals residing in Pakistan.”
And make no mistake, the targeting of those suffering from gender dysphoria is what the grant is all about.
“In this specific grant, the Department provides funding for English-language learning, an integral skill that helps unlock educational and employability opportunities, for marginalized communities, in this case transgender youth,” a spokesperson for the State Department told Fox News Digital.
And worry not, the spokesperson made it a point to stress that the grant funds will not be used for gender transitions.
