Some of the withheld money funds after-school and summer programming at Boys & Girls Clubs, the YMCA or public schools, attended by 1.4 million children and teenagers nationwide. Congress set aside money for the programs to provide academic support, enrichment and child care to mostly low-income families.

Why is Trump cutting after-school funding? Education is the only chance that youth have to climb out of poverty.

Sure! Here's a shortened list of smart people who benefited from after-school programs or enrichment activities.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Attended science programs at the Hayden Planetarium as a teen.

Early exposure to astronomy shaped his career.

2. Steve Jobs – Apple Co-founder

Joined the Hewlett-Packard Explorers Club, gaining hands-on tech experience after school.

Called it "life-changing."

3. Bill Gates – Microsoft Co-founder

Gained after-school access to a computer lab, where he started programming.

This sparked his path to tech innovation.

4. Mae Jemison – First Black Woman in Space

Participated in science clubs and dance programs after school.

Credits both for shaping her creativity and confidence.

5. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) – Congresswoman

Competed in science fairs through after-school STEM programs.

Was an Intel ISEF finalist as a teen.

6. Fei-Fei Li – AI Scientist

Benefited from library time and STEM mentors after school.

Now leads AI4ALL, helping underserved students in tech.

These "smart" individuals credit after-school STEM clubs, science fairs, and creative enrichment for jumpstarting their intellectual and professional journeys.

Maybe you didn't learn but they did.

Time for little 4 year old Timmy to pick himself up by his bootstraps.

He can start by picking berries at the local farm.

It's really shocking how widespread anti-intellectualism is now.

We're heading towards a new era of feudalism where the working class serve the overlords.

Republicans cut funding to education, because only the uneducated would vote for them.

He donated computers to my elementary school when I was growing up. At least they credited him. I still remember the smell of kicking on those old computers.
