The Biden administration is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds to study why minority children read Japanese comic books, part of an initiative to implement “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in the nation’s libraries.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency under the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities, this month awarded New York’s Queens College $313,318 to conduct a three-year study of manga and to “understand why [black, indigenous, and people of color] kids read manga,” a style of comic book that originated in Japan. The grant is aimed at closing the “knowledge gap” for librarians who are “unfamiliar” with manga and to identify manga titles popular with teenagers. The grant is provided under the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, which aims to “develop a diverse library and archival workforce” and “reduce equity gaps and address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion” in libraries.
It is the latest example of the Biden administration using taxpayer dollars to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The State Department sent $100,000 to Palestinian groups to promote DEI principles and is spending $12 million to implement DEI in Iraq. The administration recently spent $90,000 to study diversity, equity, and inclusion in the construction industry. The Washington Free Beacon reported that the Biden State Department has spent nearly $5 million to help foreign activist groups stage pride parades and drag shows. more

Because american comics went woke and suck.
Maybe because Manga has better art, stories and character development? The American Comic book industry went woke…..big time.
Because kids love what other kids love, it has zero to do with race.
Our country is literally run by idiots.
Like spending millions to have Muslims accept homos, whars next, having them acceot pork? Sheesh..
if they have soo much money to burn surely they don’t need out tax dollars, do they?
Manga? More like hentai and lolicon.
I’ll admit that I am a skeptic. This has nothing to do with DEI. It’s an upcoming voter bloc that democrats need.
Why not study this art form to engineer a propaganda campaign? They’ll use it for brainwashing these little skulls full of mush.
Hey, FJB. We are bankrupt. Quit spending money. You cannot spend your way out of bankruptcy. Dumb ass traitor.
Japanese comic books like anime suck.
besides the 10% how many votes do they get?
All western governments are just silly self back patters. And people pay.
