CNN: Trump ending Michelle Obama's girls education program [View all]
President Trump plans to end ‘Let Girls Learn,’ former first lady Michelle Obama’s girls education program, according to a Monday CNN report.
"Moving forward, we will not continue to use the Let Girls Learn brand or maintain a stand-alone program,” an email from Peace Corps acting director Sheila Crowley to employees reportedly reads.
The Trump administration gave order to cease the program’s operation immediately, according to an internal document obtained by CNN.
The Obamas started the program in 2015. It aimed to increase educational opportunities for young girls in developing countries.

There is nothing with the name Obama linked to it that Trump won't try to destroy. Despicable.
