Trump HHS Tells States to Remove Gender Ideology From Sex Ed or Lose PREP Funding
The Department of Health and Human Services demands removal of transgender topics from sex education in 46 states by Oct 27, threatening to cut $81 million in federal funding.
- On Tuesday , the Department of Health and Human Services ordered 46 states and territories to remove 'gender ideology' from PREP materials, risking over $81.3 million in funding.
- Following an Administration for Children and Families review earlier this year, HHS says the PREP authorizing statute does not allow teaching 'gender ideology'.
- Records obtained by The Advocate list major funding at risk including more than $6 million for New York and $4.6 million for Pennsylvania, while PREP serves roughly 10,000 teens in seven Illinois counties including Cook and Lake.
- ACF has given states and territories 60 days to remove disallowed content, warning noncompliance could trigger withholding, suspension, or termination of roughly $81 million in federal PREP funds.
- The administration framed the measure as protecting children from "delusional ideology," while LGBTQ+ advocates and California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned it, with Newsom responding `BRING IT`.
