The Trump Administration Was Right To Drop UNESCO

"UNESCO has a long history of corruption and mismanagement... Not only is UNESCO a poorly managed and corrupt organization, it's also a highly politicized place. Although the United States is the organization's largest funder, UNESCO has long held an anti-U.S. bias...

UNESCO's mission is to 'further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms.' Yet, throughout UNESCO's history, it has done many things as a direct mockery to this mission.

For example, in 2013, UNESCO honored Che Guevara by including 'The Life and Works of Ernesto Che Guevara' in 2013's additions to its Memory of the World Register, although Guevara was Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's chief executioner, and both committed crimes against humanity. Honoring such a mass-murderer was an insult to Cubans who lost family members and are still suffering under the oppressive communist regime...

President Trump was right to withdraw the United States from UNESCO because it doesn't deserve a dime from U.S. taxpayers. UN bureaucrats should take this as a wake-up call to implement some badly needed reforms."
