The Trump administration has canceled a grant providing millions of dollars for a California sex education program after educators refused to remove all references to gender identity, trans and nonbinary people from its curriculum. The program seeks to help prevent unwanted childhood pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.
Separately, the Education Department this week quietly rescinded guidance directing schools to accommodate students learning English as a second language. This follows President Trump’s executive order seeking to establish English as the “official language” of the United States.
