$825K in American Rescue Plan funds went to ‘oral historians’ researching anti-racism, 'Latinx' histories


FIRST ON FOX: Hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars from President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package went towards "under/unemployed oral historians" and their research related to studies in anti-racism and Indigenous and "Latinx" histories.

The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act, which Democrats passed in March 2021 without any Republican support, was billed by the Democratic Party as an economic necessity for getting the country through the COVID-19 pandemic. The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), which received $135 million from the plan, announced last October that it had allocated $87.8 million in ARP funds to "nearly 300 cultural and educational institutions to help them recover from the economic impact of the pandemic, retain and rehire workers, and reopen sites, facilities, and programs."

Of course the grants went towards projects that really had nothing to do with addressing pandemic issues....

However, many of the institutions were awarded grants for projects that had virtually little to do with addressing recovery efforts from the pandemic.
