/1🚨BREAKING🚨
Following a report from @SenateCommerce @SenTedCruz, we launched multiple investigations and filed a lawsuit against the National Science Foundation regarding the misuse of billions of dollars in federal research funds by Biden-Harris to promote illegal DEI:
/2 Immediately upon taking power, the Biden-Harris White House created a task force on “scientific integrity” to provide “a review of the impact on [the] scientific integrity of diversity, equity, and inclusion practices” at all science-related agencies.
/3 Later, the White House and NSF ordered agencies to “[i]ncorporate DEIA [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility] considerations into all aspects of science planning, execution, and communication.”
/4 On October 9 @SenTedCruz, the Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, issued a shocking and groundbreaking report finding that the NSF has awarded more than $2.05 billion in federal funding to thousands of scientific research projects that promoted DEI or “pushed neo-Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggle.”
/5 The @SenateCommerce report analyzed over 32,000 Prime Award grants between January 2021 and April 2024. The data showed that only 0.29 percent of all grants with start dates in 2021 centered on DEI initiatives, but by 2024, more than a quarter (27 percent) of all new grants pushed this divisive, dangerous, and illegal perspective, totaling $2.05 billion. Of this, “social justice”-related grants totaled a staggering $1.6 billion.
/6 Following up on the Cruz report, we are investigating:
🚨NSF’s selection process regarding five of the most egregious social justice-related grant awards highlighted in the Senate Commerce report.
🚨The political leadership at NSF was appointed by the Biden-Harris Administration. AFL initially filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for these records on May 9, 2023, but to date, has not received any substantive response from the agency.
🚨Influence by the Biden-Harris White House into federal research funding at the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
/7 We also filed a lawsuit against the National Science Foundation for illegally concealing the employment records of the agency officials approving these grants.
/8 The Biden-Harris Administration has hijacked billions in federal taxpayer funds meant for important scientific research to promote anti-intellectual, anti-science, and anti-American DEI and leftist ideology. aflegal.org/america-first-…
