The Trump administration has issued a warning to 46 states and territories, stating that they must remove references to gender ideology from their sex education materials or risk losing federal funding. This directive affects a broad range of states, including Vermont, Nebraska, Georgia, and California, with specific threats of funding cuts to various programs. The Health and Human Services (HHS) department is leading this initiative, demanding significant changes to sex education curricula that include discussions on transgender individuals and gender identity. States failing to comply with these orders may face substantial financial repercussions, with millions of dollars in federal funding at stake.
