He was referring to last year\u2019s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that was signed into law by President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>In October of last year, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a federal government agency, announced that $15.2 million in\u00a0American Rescue Plan project grants would be handed down to \u201cinstitutions across 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to support the role of museums and libraries in recovering from the coronavirus pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to disclosures posted on the IMLS website, for example, the agency awarded grants to various organizations to promote the \u201canti-racism\u201d agenda. In one instance, it gave the Rochester Museum and Science Center in New York about $50,000 for a field trip for students to see an exhibit that features the \u201cstory of a community-led effort to remove racist artwork from a historic carousel, as a tool for anti-racism education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Criticalrace.org, a website dedicated to exposing critical race theory being taught in schools and colleges, <a href=\"https:\/\/criticalrace.org\/\">says<\/a> that the anti-racism agenda is closely aligned with CRT\u2014itself an offshoot of the earlier Marxist Frankfurt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Republican senator said that only about 10 percent of a $2 trillion COVID-19 relief package actually went to dealing with the pandemic, asserting that American taxpayers would be alarmed by where the funds are going. \u201cOur office dug into it and found a lot of it interesting that much of it is just coming [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1550883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1550883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1550883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1550883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1550883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1550883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1550883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
