Trump administration orders California to remove gender identity from sex education lessons

[Zorro]

The Trump administration has given California 60 days to remove gender identity materials from sex education curriculum or risk losing more than $12.3 million in federal grants that helped pay for the creation and distribution of the materials.

The order is the latest clash between the administration California related to LGBTQ+ issues. These culture war-tinged disputes have raged on many fronts, but date back substantially to Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order that recognized two sexes, male and female, a dictum that has moved across all departments under his jurisdiction.

In youth sports, this divide has unfolded with Trump threatening to withhold vast sums of federal funding unless California bars transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports.

California has not complied to date.

Within the classroom, the Trump policy has meant opposing curriculum that allows for more than a binary — male or female — expression of gender. Historically, federal authority over local curriculum has been limited, but Trump has been quick to use federal funding as leverage.

Maybe that's where Trump is getting half his inspirations--fifty year old movies.

3. MAGA experts on sex education

All this from an administration that is lead by (your president) someone who brags about grabbing pussy in public, convicted of rape and molestation, who openly has no respect for women. This is rich!

4. Not a federal issue

State's rights issue. Let the people do what they want within their state.

9. So if Alabama & Mississipi make race-based chattel slavery legal + being LGBTQ punishable by death, you're good w/ that?

State's rights issue. Let the people do what they want within their state.

7. Headed to another court loss

Time and time again, he cannot withhold block grants from Congress over issues not passed by Congress. He will lose in court and he sucks as a human being.
