The Biden administration gave $2 million to a George Soros-backed nonprofit to stop violent crime in Puerto Rico by teaching the island's young men about "Structural racism and toxic masculinities."
President Joe Biden's Justice Department in October awarded the lucrative grant to Taller Salud, a "Feminist, culturally specific nonprofit organization" in Puerto Rico.
Taller Salud, which receives funding from liberal billionaire George Soros's Open Society Foundations, will use the $2 million to further implement its "Community violence intervention program," which includes "Public education campaigns" to address "Structural racism and toxic masculinities" among Puerto Rican men between the ages of 15 and 30.
In addition to Soros's Open Society Foundations, its site touts funding from Planned Parenthood and Grantmakers for Girls of Color, a group that invests in the "Liberation" of "Girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth of Color." Still, the Biden administration grant will pay the nonprofit handsomely for its toxic masculinity training.
The organization's CEO, Tania Rosario Méndez, pays herself nearly triple the median income in Puerto Rico, tax documents show.
Over 40 percent of Puerto Ricans live in poverty, according to the Census Bureau.
Taller Salud in at least some cases has attempted to address poverty in Puerto Rico, albeit through unusual tactics.
