"In August, the government threatened to rescind federal funding for educational institutions in at least 46 of the 50 states if they did not remove sex-education materials that mention trans and non-binary people."
"HHS could axe more $81.3 million (almost £60.5 million) in federal funding within the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and the Title V Sexual Risk Avoidance Education program (SRAE) if it follows through on the threat."
"The lawsuit called the government's stipulation a "radical departure" from how the programmes typically function and was another attempt by Republicans to "target and harm transgender and gender-diverse youth as well as youth with differences in sex development ',"
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as head of the Department of Health and Human Services, threatened to withhold federal sex-education funds from states whose materials mention trans and non-binary people. The government warned it could rescind PREP and SRAE funding across at least 46 states and potentially cut $81.3 million from those programs. More than $12 million in PREP funds was already withheld from California over materials labeled as "gender ideology." A coalition led by Minnesota, Washington and Oregon filed a legal complaint accusing HHS of overstepping congressional spending authority and targeting transgender and gender-diverse youth and youth with differences in sex development.
