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.
- Last month, a U.S. District Judge in Oregon blocked the Trump administration from ending sex-ed funding over gender-diverse curricula, citing lack of evidence and unreasonable conditions.
- In August, the Health and Human Services Department issued new grant conditions barring `gender ideology` in Personal Responsibility Education Program and Title V Sexual Risk Avoidance Education program lessons.
- At the heart of the case is whether curricula meet the federal `medically accurate and complete` requirement, as U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken found the agency `provides no evidence` and plaintiff states submitted expert declarations from Kate Millington.
- Terminating grants would harm state sex-education programs and high-risk youth, the states say, with the complaint warning of at least $35 million lost; Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison welcomed the funding protection.
- Earlier this year, the department warned states they had 60 days to change lessons or lose PREP grants, and California's $12 million grant was stripped Aug. 21.
