Summary: Earlier this week, a memo was sent out to Peace Corps employees stating that they would stop using the "Let Girls Learn" name, a program made by Michelle Obama to help girls in developing countries get an education. Although the memo was made public, spokespersons have stated that there will be no changes to the program. Melania Trump has seemed to promote the education of girls and promises to help.
Analysis: Whether or not they will change the "Let Girls Learn" program, it's still incredibly disheartening that they would even contemplate it. The right to an education was once withheld from us, and now there are people who question whether girls have the right or deserve the opportunities given to them. And these opportunities are still given hesitantly, even by girls themselves. It's extremely important that the Trump Administration keeps this program. It has helped many girls, and will help countless others.

I hope that these policies stay intact and are not changed because of our selfish president.
