EXCERPT:
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services on Friday will terminate $67 million of teenage pregnancy prevention grants to defund “sexually explicit” curricula, according to documents obtained exclusively by the Daily Signal.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health’s Office of Population Affairs provides grants to organizations that promote teen pregnancy prevention, as well as organizations that write teen pregnancy prevention curricula. HHS terminated 53 of 67 of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants after a department review.
The Biden-era HHS awarded organizations that push curricula the Trump administration calls “medically inaccurate,” “age inappropriate,” and “sexually explicit,” violating the statute that set up the program.
HHS will announce two new award opportunities for potential partners that promote body literacy in place of radical gender ideology, abortion, and contraception. The opportunities will “focus on programs that do not promote material that depicts, describes, exposes, or presents obscene, indecent, or sexually explicit content, including content that normalizes or promotes sexual activity for minors.”
