Trump administration threatens to pull federal funding from sex ed programs that mention transgender people
- The Trump administration issued a directive to health departments in 40 states, several territories, and Washington, D.C., requiring the elimination of gender ideology content from federally funded PREP sex education programs within a 60-day timeframe.
- This directive continues federal efforts to withdraw funding from states that fail to comply and occurs within the larger context of national controversies surrounding gender identity issues in educational settings.
- The agency responsible for children and family services issued warnings that failure to remove flagged material could result in withholding, suspension, or cancellation of PREP funding, as demonstrated by California’s $12 million grant being revoked.
- Acting Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison emphasized that federal funding will not support efforts to indoctrinate young people with harmful ideologies, while New York risks losing more than $6 million for failing to meet compliance requirements.
- These federal actions heighten tensions between government oversight and state education control, indicating continuing efforts to reshape sex education policies nationwide.
