“President Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO — which supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November,” White House deputy spokesperson Anna Kelly said.
“This President will always put America First and ensure our country’s membership in all international organizations aligns with our national interests.”
Among the faults cited are UNESCO’s publication of an “anti-racism toolkit” in 2023 and its 2024 “Transforming MEN’talities” initiative, the former of which called on member states to adopt “anti-racist” policies and compete in a “race to the top” to be the foremost social justice advocate, answering questions about the history of racism in their jurisdictions and then working to ensure equity.
The “MEN’talities” initiative published a report highlighting the organization’s work in India aimed at reshaping how “men think about gender issues” — especially “harmful gender norms.”
The gender program also published a video game report last year that looked into how games could “promote gender equality.”
“It is not only about controlling the negative impacts, but also relying on video games to address socio-cultural stereotypes and encourage positive, antidiscriminatory behaviors,” assistant director-general for the social and human sciences Gabriela Ramos said at the time.
