The federal government canceled a roughly $12.3 million sexual education grant to California, citing inclusion of what it called "radical gender ideology" and a state refusal to revise materials within a 60-day compliance deadline. The grant funded sex education in juvenile justice facilities, homeless shelters, foster care group homes and some schools, reaching about 13,000 youths annually through 20 agencies. Federal officials said the state added content outside the grant's purpose, while state officials maintained the materials were medically accurate and complied with grant terms. The cancellation was framed as preventing taxpayer-funded indoctrination, and state officials had no immediate response.
The Trump administration has canceled a sexual education grant to California worth about $12.3 million on the grounds that it included "radical gender ideology" after state officials refused to revise the materials. The funding helps pay for sex education programs in juvenile justice facilities, homeless shelters and foster care group homes, as well as some schools, reaching an estimated 13,000 youths per year through 20 agencies.
"California's refusal to comply with federal law and remove egregious gender ideology from federally funded sex-ed materials is unacceptable," said Acting Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison, of the Administration for Children and Families. "The Trump Administration will not allow taxpayer dollars to be used to indoctrinate children. Accountability is coming for every state that uses federal funds to teach children delusional gender ideology."
