Federal Directive and Response

The administration has ordered to eliminate references to gender identity from its federally funded Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) curriculum within 60 days or face funding termination.

California officials, including the Department of Public Health, assert that the PREP curriculum is medically accurate, comprehensive, and age-appropriate, emphasizing its federally pre-approved status and its reach to high-needs populations.

Content and Compliance Issues

The (ACF) criticized California's PREP materials for including "disturbing gender ideology content," claiming it deviates from the program's core mission of providing medically accurate education on abstinence and contraception.

The controversy centers around educational content that discusses gender identity, transgenderism, and non-binary concepts, which the ACF argues is outside the statutory scope of the PREP program.
