The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has terminated California's federal grant for its sex education program due to the inclusion of "gender ideology content." This action follows a June directive from the Trump administration giving California a 60-day deadline to remove references to gender ideology from its federally funded Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP). California is the first state to have funding revoked, with warnings issued to 46 other states and territories to comply or face similar consequences. The administration has communicated objections to sex education curricula in 40 states and six territories, threatening to withdraw federal funds if gender ideology content is not removed within the specified timeframe. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy indicated that states including California, Washington, and New Mexico could lose millions in federal funding. Former President Donald Trump has emphasized that any California school district not adhering to his administration's policies on transgender issues will be denied funding. The directive is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to enforce restrictions on transgender-related content in educational programs across the country.
