FIRST ON FOX: A federal government agency dedicated to supporting libraries and museums across the country spent $15 million in funds from President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package on programs pushing “anti-racist” education and “social activism” for children.

In October, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), announced $15,255,733 in American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act project grants “to institutions across 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to support the role of museums and libraries in recovering from the coronavirus pandemic.”

A review of the grant recipients shows that many projects that received funding from the relief package included “anti-racist” education and “social activism” for school-aged children, and many others which had virtually little to do with recovery efforts.

For instance, the IMLS awarded $49,632 to the Rochester Museum and Science Center in New York for a field trip for third-grade students that will “utilize the ‘Take It Down’ exhibit, which tells the story of a community led effort to remove racist artwork from a historic carousel, as a tool for anti-racism education.”

The IMLS also awarded $43,400 to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to train guides to “incorporate greater cultural fluency and responsiveness into their tours using an anti-racist lens,” and to “introduce new tour topics for school audiences” regarding “social-emotional learning, identity, empathy, and social activism,” according to the IMLS website.

The IMLS awarded a $50,000 grant to the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to expand its capacity to offer “equity, diversity, and inclusion-focused STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programs for pre-K through 12th-grade students in the greater Harrisburg area,” the IMLS website states.

The Brooklyn Museum received $50,000 to create an “intensive arts education curricula” for underserved schools and to produce “content that addresses history and art through an anti-racist lens.”
