U.S. Is pulling out of UNESCO, the U.N. Cultural organization, the State Department says. "After receiving official notification by the United States Secretary of State, Mr Rex Tillerson, as UNESCO Director-General, I wish to express profound regret at the decision of the United States of America to withdraw from UNESCO," said UNESCO director general Irina Bokova in a statement.

UNESCO has been a failed organization for years. As soon as they started re-designating one religions artifacts the property of Islam, and spending more time condemning Israel rather than other, REAL violators of historical objects, knowledgeable people knew they were a lost cause.
Facts about "UNESCO: Each year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopts around 10 resolutions a year criticizing only Israel. UNESCO does not criticize any other UN member state in a country-specific resolution (100%). An exception occurred in 2013, when, under pressure from UN Watch, UNESCO adopted one resolution on Syria."
Such a clear bias can only be attributed to the influence the oil-rich Middle Eastern States have on UNESCO directly and the UN as a whole. The entire UN no longer serves the purpose that it was created for - it is now a mouthpiece for Islamic countries. If you examine the records of UN organization resolutions and such, you will see a clear pattern that is NOT promoting peace and civilization, but more keeping OPEC and other related countries and dictatorships in power. This isn't even masked on their website. Assad has been accused of using UN banned war methods on his civilian populace, and the UN has not started any serious investigation of the alleged war crime, as an example.
