Obama expands reading program ? in Kenya!Corruption determined to not be an obstacle to taxpayer money
Millions of children will be targeted to improve their reading skills over the next five years under a new Obama administration literacy program in nearly 30,000 public and private primary schools.
But the schools are not in the U.S., theyre in the Republic of Kenya.
The tentatively titled Kenya Early Grade Reading Project, or KEGRP, seeks to implement national curriculum standards, deploy more than 1,000 trainers to assist tens of thousands teachers and improve the ratio of textbooks to students. The Obama administration didnt reveal the cost of the program.
I am tired of sending U.S. Tax Dollars overseas to these shithole countries.
I don't care who is in office, there is no authorization in the Constitution for this kind of spending.
And yes, I was just as pissed when President Bush spent money on Aids in Africa.
a it's sad waste of money.

Why is a waste of money to help children learn to read?
The more children achieve an education in life, the better able they will be to drive Kenya into the future.
Kenya is an English-speaking, western-oriented nation, and thus a natural ally for the west. It is also strategically located next to Somalia, thus forming something of a potential bulwark against Islam and instability.
We can't afford to be the world's nanny, mother, father, teacher, nurse, doctor, or policeman anymore.
Stop sending this money overseas.
It will cost money now but will more than likely result in benefits/payoffs down the road. Consider it an investment. What good is an Africa that cannot read? If the people are illiterate, the relationship will be very basic. However, with an education, they have the potential to develop into stable and capable trade partners in the future. And Kenya is certainly a good place to start.

Let private charities handle it. Not tax dollars.
