CNN: Trump ending Michelle Obama's girls education program

President Trump plans to end ‘Let Girls Learn,’ former first lady Michelle Obama’s girls education program, according to a Monday CNN report.
"Moving forward, we will not continue to use the Let Girls Learn brand or maintain a stand-alone program,” an email from Peace Corps acting director Sheila Crowley to employees reportedly reads.

The Trump administration gave order to cease the program’s operation immediately, according to an internal document obtained by CNN.

The Obamas started the program in 2015. It aimed to increase educational opportunities for young girls in developing countries.

There is nothing with the name Obama linked to it that Trump won't try to destroy. Despicable.

I wouldn't have thought that encouraging girls to do well in school would be what's keeping America from realizing its full greatness.

so if we keep those girls in Afghanistan back in the dark ages, our girls will look Great in comparison?

There is no reason for this other than destroying anything an Obama put their name to.

The POS-In-Chief has effectively erased the Obama administration (in his own mind) from posterity. If this doesn't prove what a vengeful, vicious, small soul he has I don't know what will. Oh, repealing ACA, gutting every treaty, making the whole world shake and quake...the list is endless.
