The Trump administration is scrutinizing California's sex education program for medical accuracy and age appropriateness, igniting concerns among LGBTQ+ advocates about potential censorship. The review targets the federally funded Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), which serves vulnerable youth aged 10 to 19, including those identifying as LGBTQ+. Critics argue this initiative is politically motivated and threatens inclusive education, despite the administration's claims of ensuring curriculum transparency and accuracy. Advocates emphasize that the existing PREP curriculum has effectively delayed sexual activity and promoted responsible sexual health practices among students.
The Trump administration is reviewing California's sex education curriculum for accuracy and age appropriateness, raising concerns from LGBTQ+ advocates about potential censorship of vital information.
California's PREP program, which offers sex education to vulnerable youth, is now under scrutiny from the federal government, sparking fears over the future of inclusive sexual health education.
"This is not about curriculum transparency, it's about censorship, plain and simple," said Jorge Reyes Salinas from Equality California, regarding the political motivations for the review.
Andrew Gradison stated, "As part of our radical transparency efforts, I will ensure the curriculum students are taught is age-appropriate and medically accurate," reflecting the administration's agenda.
