‘Sesame Street’ Receives $100 Million Grant to Create Programming for Muslim Migrant Children

Special rights for a special class — that’s sharia. It will be interesting to see what Elmo does with his sword and his Quran.
Here’s the money quote, “To some degree, the program has been developed as a way to fight terrorist actors such as the Islamic State (ISIS) by educating children.”

‘Sesame Street’ Receives $100 Million Grant to Create Programming for Syrian Refugee Children

The nonprofit behind the children’s television show Sesame Street received $100 million in grant money to help Syrian refugee children.

Breitbart, December 22, 2017:

Story continues below advertisement

The MacArthur Foundation awarded the $100 million grant money to Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee to start a series of programming initiatives aimed at refugee children in the Middle East.

“This may be our most important initiative ever and we are humbled by the trust and confidence that has been placed in us,” Sesame Workshop President and CEO Jeffrey Dunn said in a statement. “These children are, arguably, the world’s most vulnerable and by improving their lives we create a more stable and secure world for us all.”

The grant will go towards producing a local version of Sesame Street for Syrian refugee children that would allow them to learn math, reading, language, and socioemotional skills. The foundation’s goal is to reach an estimated 9.4 million children and address the “toxic stress” many child refugees face.

“Embedded in the content, Sesame’s Muppets will model inclusion and respect, and gender equity, and they will provide engaging educational messages, always from a child’s perspective,” the release reads.

Sesame Workshop and International Rescue Committee also plan to incorporate home visits into the program, where representatives from the nonprofit would provide families with games, toys, picture books, and parenting resources.

The program would also financially support building child development centers in the area.

The press release states that Sesame Workshop has developed similar programs in India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, South Africa, and other locations.

Sesame Workshop and International Rescue Committee began testing the program on Syrian children in refugee camps in Jordan in 2016.

To some degree, the program has been developed as a way to fight terrorist actors such as the Islamic State (ISIS) by educating children.

The Islamic State has a program of its own, designed to indoctrinate future militants for the terrorist organization in Iraq and Syria. Their “common core” consists of teaching math with bullets and grammar with guns through textbooks and phone apps created by the Islamic State.

There used to be a Sikh secessionist movement in India. Sometime in the 1980’s there was a huge shoot-out between this secessionist movement and India forces at the Golden Temple. The Sikh separatist movement was trained, backed and equipped by Pakistan (spit).

Veterans and patriots are like that. MacArthur was in charge of the Washington Brigade and he shot, bayonetted and ran over with tanks American WW1 veterans.
Because the government was afraid the veterans would buy machine guns (they were legal and cheap then) and do their duty and clean out the traitorous congress and senate. Americans have the right and duty to stop a bad government. Those men had guts.

On armistice day (WW I) some generals (Sherman?) caused the death of some thousand Americans because hie told them to do a offensive charge toward the German lines even though he was told that the armistice treaty was signed and to end any and all hostilities.
A large number of men killed or wounded for the reason along the front.. This was murder known of by the upper brass, yet nothing was done, and medals were handed out.I’m a Trump supporter and fiscal conservative, pro America, and hate our leaders, sorry but the truth hurts the little man,and never those at the top that do the bad deeds .

Patton met MacArthur at that battle in WW1. They were both army line officers at the time. Even stranger is that Truman was involved in that battle too — as an artillery battery commander. What about the Inchon landing? That plan was MacArthur’s and it broke the Korean War siege at Pusan.

I used to work for the lawyers for the MacArthur Foundation. They were Hufstedler Kay’s and Rttinger. Shirley Hufstedler was Carters Sec. Of Education and Regent at Occidental College. She arranged Obamas admissions. Their offices were in the Wells Fargo Center in Los Angeles, Penthouse. Their main client was Armand Hammer and Occidental Oil, thus Occidental College. Same thing. MAcArthur was a republican. He died and his estate went to his children, who had been suckered into the communist party. They gave the estate to the DNC lawyers to manage it. It’s a slush fund for the DNC. I worked directly for Shirley and for Warren Christopher, Clintons Sec. Of State. I finally quit because it was too weird.

Do you thnk something like this could have ever occurred in 17th-century Christian Colonial America whose government of, by, and for God were established upon His unchanging moral law, beginning with the First Commandment? Of course not!

Could this then have something to do with the fact that the 18th-century Enlightenment and Masonic founders (both polythiestic to the core) replaced the First Commandment with the First Amendment?

CLUE: There were no openly practicing Muslims, no Mosques, no Sharia, and no Islamic terrorism in 17th-century Colonial America whose governments of, by, and for God were established upon Yahweh’s moral law, beginning with the First Commandment:

“…When the 18th-century founders replaced the First Commandment (found intact in some 17th-century Colonial Constitutions) with the First Amendment, America was transformed from a predominantly monotheistic Christian nation (a united nation under one God, Yahweh) into arguably the most polytheistic nation to exist (a divided nation under many gods, including Islam’s Allah).

“It’s one thing to allow for individual freedom of conscience and private choice of gods, something impossible to legislate for or against. It’s another matter altogether for government to enable any and all religions to proliferate through the land and evangelize our posterity to false gods. This is what the First Amendment legitimizes. It is an unequivocal violation of the First Commandment and the polar opposite of the following First Commandment statute:

‘[Y]e shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves. For thou shall worship no other god: for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Lest thou … go a whoring after their gods….’ (Exodus 34:13-15)….”

For more, see blog article “National Religious Freedom Day aka Celebrating the Founders’ Violation of the First Commandment” at http://www.constitutionmythbusters.org/national-religious-freedom-day-aka-celebrating-the-founders-violation-of-the-first-commandment/.
