Elizabeth Harrington of the Washington Free Beacon digs up more questionable uses of taxpayer funding.
The National Endowment for the Humanities is spending over $50,000 on Slouch, a book about Americans’ “poor posture.”
Recently awarded grants from the Trump administration also include $50,400 to study “18th century sexuality,” $50,400 to study bells in Bulgaria, and $50,400 for a study on propaganda given to a philosopher who thinks liberals can be brainwashed by watching Fox News.
An associate professor from the University of Pennsylvania received $50,400 for Slouch: The Hidden History of America’s Poor Posture Epidemic, according to the grant list. The funding will support “research and writing of a book on the rise and fall of the American poor posture epidemic in the 20th century and its impact on science, medicine, government, and industry.”
The NEH awarded $12.8 million for 253 projects last month.
