US Health and Human Services agency orders states to strip gender from sex ed

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told 40 states, including Washington, to strip references to gender identity from sex education materials or lose federal PREP funding. The Trump administration framed the move as eliminating “gender ideology,” while advocacy groups called it an effort to erase recognition of transgender and nonbinary people. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/us-health-and-human-services-agency-orders-states-to-strip-gender-from-sex-ed/ #HHS #TrumpAdministration #SexEducation #Transgender #Nonbinary #PREP #FederalFunding #WashingtonState #LGBTQ #GenderAffirmingCare
