Defying a warning from Washington, member nations of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, voted to grant Palestine membership status in the organization. This act triggered a congressional ban on funding to UN organizations that recognize Palestine as a state.
President Reagan pulled the US out of UNESCO in 1984, he cited the organization's financial mismanagement, blatant anti-Americanism, and a general hostility toward freedom as the reasoning behind the withdrawal. Two decades later the globalist George W. Bush committed the United States back into the organization and agreed to pay almost a whole quarter of the organization's annual budget.
UNESCO's educational arm operates a program know as the International Baccalaureate Organization, this organization provides curriculum to schools all over the world, ever wonder why globalization and the "citizens of the world" mentality has become common place in American schools? It is because many American schools are members of UNESCO's IBO program and they are teaching a globalist curriculum provided by globalists who, as Ronald Reagan pointed out, are generally hostile to freedom. The IBO program operates in 1,182 schools in 101 countries, including many North American schools. The goal of the IBO is to build global citizenship.
Given the fact that American progressives are equally hostile to freedom, it is reasonable to suspect that the congressional ban that was triggered by the acceptance of Palestine into the organization will be a temporary speed bump that will amount to little more than political posturing. The progressives in the White House and State Department will not pull out of this globalist holy grail, they will find a way around the obstacle.
