"The Trump administration declared being part of UNESCO “not in the national interest of the United States.”
The administration of President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that it would withdraw from the United Nations
UNESCO describes itself as a platform that “promotes cooperation in education, science, culture and communication to foster peace worldwide.” While its World Heritage program is the most prominent initiative, UNESCO has steadily increased its political activism in the past half-decade, becoming a platform for authoritarian world leaders seeking to silence dissent online.
Of particular note is an event in early 2023 – months before former President Joe Biden undid Trump’s first exit from the agency – called the “Internet for Trust Conference,” in which UNESCO propaganda compared internet users sharing political opinions it disapproved of to “insects” and called for the repression of “hate speech, misogyny, suppression of free speech, doxxing and conspiracy theories.”
The State Department listed among its reasons for withdrawing from UNESCO on Tuesday its proclivity for helping “advance divisive social and cultural causes” as well as its strident anti-Israel stances, similar to those of many fellow U.N. bodies."
