President Donald Trump’s administration this week told 40 states to eliminate parts of lessons that focus on LGBTQ+ issues from federally funded sexual education materials or that they will lose funding.

The move is the latest in a line of efforts since Trump returned to the White House in January to recognize people as only male or female and to eliminate what he calls “gender ideology.”

“Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas,” Acting Assistant Health and Human Service Secretary Andrew Gradison said in a statement.

... this walking venereal disease is lecturing schools on appropriate sex education? Seriously?
But then, irrefutable scientific facts have never deterred Trump from spewing his verbal vomit to get his own way before, so don't expect that to change, like, EVER.
As with every dictator, Trump wants to twist and pervert reality to fit his own egomaniacal view of how the world should be, and neither logic, reason, nor common human decency will give him pause. Self-reflection is not part of his limited, juvenile vocabulary.

So watch your six; the filth that follow him are eagerly awaiting his go-ahead.
