The USDA has been caught using our tax dollars to fund absolutely idiotic, woke garbage, according to the latest revelations.
One of these idiotic wastes of tax dollars aimed to research gay issues in agriculture and to study “queer farmers quality of life in Pennsylvania.”
“The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Projects – a federally funded research arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture – paid $14,997 for the 2018 grant,” according to Just the News.
There were others also seeking to impose LGBTQ agenda on agriculture. Another sought to “study” the relationships of queer farmers.
Another $15,000 grant in the federal database is titled: “Gender, Sexuality, and Social Sustainability: Exploring Queer Farmers’ Relationships, Ethics, and Practices in the Midwest.”
That 2022 grant went to the University of Notre Dame in response to a grant proposal promising to develop “a more comprehensive understanding of queer farmers’ experiences.”
The proposal for that grant posited that “we still have much to learn about the specific ways that narratives which posit heterosexuality and cisgender identities as ‘normal’ continue to uphold hegemonic power dynamics within alternative agriculture.”
The research’s final report said “findings show that queer farmers often struggle to find safe, supportive work or learning opportunities as a result of how other farmers, customers, and community members perceive their gender or sexuality, and even though many queer farmers having family connections to farming, they struggle to secure access to land because their family’s agricultural or social values don’t align with theirs.”
This is, of course, all absolute garbage.
It is agenda pushing, not legitimate studies of any kind.
