Trump Administration Cuts to Sex Ed

Federal cuts to evidence-based sex education, abrupt termination of TPP grants, and new abstinence-only and anti-DEI conditions are reducing support for peer and comprehensive programs. New York lost $4.3M affecting foster youth and high-poverty communities, while ADF's Colorado challenge and heavily funded curricula such as Meet Baby Olivia show the coordinated push against inclusive education. Research, rising gaps in formal sex education, and accessible community workshops continue to strengthen the case for comprehensive approaches.
