HHS Orders States to Remove Gender Ideology From Sex Ed

The Trump administration has demanded that 46 states and territories remove any mention of gender ideology in their federally funded sex ed curriculum or risk losing PREP funding, the department of Health and Human Services announced on Tuesday.

The HHS, through its Administration for Children and Families, sent a letter to the department of education representatives in 46 states and territories ordering that Personal Responsibility Education Program educational materials make the change within 60 days. States that do not comply will be met with withholding, suspension, or the termination of federal PREP funding.

Acting Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison released a statement saying: “Accountability is coming. Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas. The Trump administration will ensure that PREP reflects the intent of Congress, not the priorities of the left.” Only 10 states did not receive a letter.
