White House threatens sex education funds unless states nix references to transgender people in curriculums

The Prep initiative was created in 2010 to help prevent teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Accountability is coming, said Andrew Gradison, acting assistant secretary of ACF, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. 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.
