The Trump administration gave California a 60-day deadline to overhaul its sex education program or risk losing federal funding.
California must eliminate “all gender ideology references” in its program and curriculum, the Administration for Children and Families at the Department of Health and Human Services said in a letter to the state.
The administration condemned the federally funded Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) for teaching gender identity is different from a child’s biological sex.
“The Trump Administration will not tolerate the use of federal funds for programs that indoctrinate our children,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison. “The disturbing gender ideology content in California’s PREP materials is both unacceptable and well outside the program’s core purpose. ACF remains committed to radical transparency and providing accountability so that parents know what their children are being taught in schools.”
The Hill has reached out to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) office for comment.
The department said it is also investigating other grant recipients that administer PREP to ensure similar concepts are not taught in other areas of the country.
The announcement comes days after the Supreme Court ruled Tennessee's ban on medical care for transgender kids is legal.
It also comes after the Department of Education has opened investigations into numerous school districts who have allowed transgender individuals to play on girls' sports teams.
