As \u200cpart of \u200cthis initiative, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cruz-moves-to-take-taxpayer-money-from-iran-nuclear-deal-and-give-to-military-dogs\/\" title=\"Cruz Moves to Take Taxpayer Money from Iran Nuclear Deal and Give to Military Dogs\">taxpayer funds<\/a> are being used\u200d to study why minority children are drawn to Japanese comic books, known as manga.<\/p>\n<p>The Institute of \u200dMuseum and Library Services, \u200ba federal \u200dagency under the National Foundation on\u2062 the Arts and the Humanities, has awarded New York&#8217;s Queens College $313,318 to conduct a three-year study on manga. The goal\u200c is\u2063 to understand why\u2064 black, indigenous, and people of color kids are \u2064interested \u2064in manga and to bridge the\u2062 knowledge gap for librarians who may be unfamiliar with \u2062this style of comic book. Additionally, the study aims to \u200didentify popular \u2064manga titles among teenagers. This grant is provided under the Laura Bush 21st\u2062 Century Librarian Program, which seeks \u200dto develop a diverse\u200c library and \u200carchival workforce and address issues\u2063 of diversity, \u200cequity, \u200dand\u2063 inclusion in libraries.<\/p>\n<p>This investment in diversity, equity, and\u200c inclusion is just one example of how the Biden administration is utilizing \u200dtaxpayer dollars. The State Department, for instance, has allocated $100,000 to\u200d Palestinian groups to\u2062 promote DEI principles and is spending $12 million to implement DEI \u200cin Iraq. Furthermore, the administration has recently allocated $90,000 to study diversity, equity, and inclusion\u200b in the \u200dconstruction industry. The Washington Free Beacon has reported that the Biden State Department has spent\u2064 nearly $5\u2064 million to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-spends-300k-in-taxpayer-funds-to-study-why-minority-kids-like-japanese-comic-books\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Uses 0K in Taxpayer Funds to Research Minority Kids' Interest in Japanese Comics\">support foreign \u200dactivist\u200c groups<\/a> in organizing pride parades and drag \u200cshows.<\/p>\n<h3>Queens College \u200cand Manga in Libraries<\/h3>\n<p>Queens College will\u2063 collaborate with\u200b an organization called Manga in Libraries, \u2064which was established in 2021 to promote manga in school and public\u2064 libraries. This group\u200d recommends manga \u200ctitles that focus on racial, LGBTQ, and disability issues. \u2064For example,\u2064 one recommended title is <em>The Bride Was\u2063 a Boy<\/em>,\u2062 a charming tale about \u2063a woman assigned male at birth who explores her sexuality, gender, and transition.<\/p>\n<p>To encourage \u2063the \u200dinclusion of girls in manga, Manga in Libraries suggests <em>The \u200bAncient Magus&#8217; Bride<\/em>. This manga tells the story \u200cof Ainsworth, a seven<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-democratic-grooming-scandal-no-ones-talking-about\/\" title=\"The Democratic Grooming Scandal No One\u2019s Talking About\">-foot-tall humanoid<\/a> with an animal skull for\u200b a head, who \u2062marries a 15-year-old orphan girl he purchased \u200cat a slave\u2064 auction.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that an increasing number of Democrats \u200dhave shown an interest in nerdy hobbies like manga. For instance, Missouri Democrat Lucas Kunce, who is\u200d challenging Sen. Josh Hawley (R.), owns up to\u200b $50,000 worth of Magic: The Gathering cards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Humanities, is allocating the taxpayer funds to investigate the reading preferences of minority children, specifically their interest in Japanese comic books.
