US EditionHHS Tells States to Remove Mention of 'Gender Ideology' in Sex Ed Courses or Lose Funding
The directive threatens $81 million in federal funding for sexual health education programs focusing on abstinence and contraception, with a 60-day compliance deadline.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services asked 46 states and territories, including Iowa, to remove references to `gender ideology` from federally funded PREP materials within 60 days.
- Last week, HHS terminated California's PREP grant after the state refused to remove what HHS called `radical gender ideology`, while California said materials were medically accurate and previously approved.
- The PREP program provides sex‑ed on abstinence and contraception for vulnerable youth, and about $81 million in remaining PREP funds nationwide could be affected.
- HHS warned noncompliant recipients could face withholding, suspension, or termination of federal PREP funding for failing to remove specified references, the agency said on Tuesday.
- The move aligns with Trump administration orders restricting transgender recognition and funding, with the Administration for Children and Families stating PREP excludes 'gender ideology' and aligns with congressional intent.
