• In a head-scratcher grant that epitomizes mission creep, the U.S. State Department awarded $20,600 for a cultural center in Ecuador to host drag theater performances to “promote diversity and inclusion” in the region, Fox News reported.
• The project, run by Centro Ecuatoriano Norteamericano, a non-profit organization supported by the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Ecuador, runs September 2022 through August 2023.
• It includes three workshops, 12 drag theater performances, and a 2-minute documentary, according to the grant.
