HHS tells states to remove mention of 'gender ideology' in sex ed courses or lose funding

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Tuesday that it will pull federal funding from more than 46 states and territories if they do not remove mentions of "gender ideology" from certain sex education courses.

According to the press release, the states and territories have 60 days to comply with the demand or risk losing funding.
 
The announcement specifies that the order relates only to the federally funded Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP).

“Accountability is coming,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison. “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.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Big Government needs to stay out of knockin' boots and bumpin' uglies.
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

Doctors and hospitals have been fraudulently miscoding so-called gender affirming surgery for insurance purposes. I wonder whether HHS can do anything about that.

A detailed but important thread establishing that the AMA has been advocating for fraudulent physician billing practices of so-called "gender-affirmative care." This entire house of cards is beginning to collapse, but the damage to medicine & patients has been incalculable.

Remember how we've been told we have to "transition" minor children or else they'll commit suicide?
Here's a mother who enthusiastically pushed her son to undergo the various procedures ("transhausen by proxy"), and after he still tried to kill himself - unsuccessfully - she's been using his brain-damaged condition for fundraising purposes.

At the start of the pandemic, transhausen mother affirmed her 12 year old son's delusions that he was a 🏳️‍⚧️ girl. 
She had him chemically castrated and disrupted his puberty. She changed his legal name to Melody. He was affirmed by family, peers, and even the mayor of Long Beach.  So why did he still try to kill himself on April 14, 2025, at age 17, resulting in a severe TBI?
Why didn't the trans rites prevent this outcome?
Could all this affirmation have caused irreversible damage?
Did the underlying issue get missed?
Now mom is using him for content and to solicit donations online.

Why not simply tell them that they're losing funding because it isn't the responsibility of federal taxpayers to fund local school districts?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
