The Trump administration has sparked massive outrage after announcing that it will cut funding for the National School Lunch Program, which provides nutritionally balanced lunches for children in schools, over the refusal of some schools to remove LGBT indoctrination from their curriculums.
Just kidding. It was actually the Biden administration that announced that it would be cutting funding for food for kids if the schools those children went to didn’t implement a raft of LGBT policies, including permitting trans-identifying males into female spaces – and the move was lauded as evidence of their commitment to LGBT rights. Poor kids going hungry was, for the Biden administration, a small price to pay.
You likely didn’t even see that story get reported on. But the mainstream press is livid that the Trump administration terminated a grant for a California program on August 21 after the state refused to remove “radical gender ideology” from its curriculum. The Personal Responsibility Education Program is a sex-ed program that educates on contraception, STDs, and other aspects of sexuality. California sacrificed its funding in favor of transgender ideology.
According to Reuters, the grant was worth $12 million. “If you continue to push radical ideology on our children, we will not pay for it anymore,” Andrew Gradison, acting assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, told Fox & Friends. Gradison stated that the department “is near completion of a review of every state’s curriculum, adding that by early next week, nearly 40 states will be notified that they need to change their curriculum or face the same consequences.”
