U.S. to pull out of UNESCO over concerns of alleged 'anti-Israel bias'
« on: October 12, 2017, 05:46:30 pm »
The Trump administration said Thursday it is pulling out of UNESCO, citing concerns of an "anti-Israel bias" and other problems at the cultural organization.

The withdrawal will take place at the end of next year, according to a State Department statement.

There's no "alleged" about it.  And leaving UNESCO is a good start. I only wish they'd left off the "ESCO" part.
