Federal judge blocks the Trump administration from pulling funding for sex ed on gender diversity
A federal judge ruled the Trump administration's ban on 'gender ideology' in sex ed funding is unreasonable and would cut $35 million from 16 states’ programs, violating federal law.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken in Oregon blocked President Donald Trump's administration from cutting sex-ed funding over curricula mentioning diverse gender identities in a lawsuit by 16 states and the District of Columbia.
- The department issued last month new grant conditions to rewrite sexual health curricula, targeting 'categories of students' and conduct reviews, the complaint says.
- U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken found the department 'provides no evidence' and questioned the reasonableness of the new grant conditions, citing lack of factual support and expert declarations from Kate Millington.
- Terminating grants would harm state sex-education programs and youth at high risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases, the plaintiff states say, with the complaint estimating losses of at least $35 million; Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison welcomed the funding protection.
- Earlier this year, the Health and Human Services Department warned states they had 60 days to change lessons or lose PREP grants; California’s $12 million grant was stripped Aug. 21.
