The Trump administration is telling organizations working to prevent teen pregnancy that they must stop teaching content that doesn’t align with the administration’s views on transgender people and parental rights or they'll risk losing their federal funding.

Seventy-three organizations – including local health departments, community groups and universities – receive a portion of the $101 million budget for the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program each year. The groups serve more than 300,000 youth, mostly in school settings.

"This is a seismic change," said Adrian Shanker, the former deputy assistant secretary for health policy under President Joe Biden. "This is a program that has been effective at keeping teens across the country from getting pregnant, so this should be a universally appreciated goal."

The Department of Health and Human Services policy, announced in a July 1 memo to grantees, bans grant-funded programs from teaching about sex that is not heterosexual vaginal intercourse. It also bans “the eroticization of birth control methods” and bans any content on creating more pleasurable sexual experiences. The policy goes on to prohibit any discussion of youth experiencing gender dysphoria or expressing transgender identities.

1. A stupid man is telling everyone what they can and can't learn

This makes no sense.

And from the description it doesn't sound like they can't teach ways to make sex more painful.

6. This is what ...

happens when politicians, especially at the national level, involve themselves in education. Education at its best is left at the local level. It isn't perfect, but it is superior to the input and control by politicians, because it represents local preferences and ideas. There has never been a politician without an agenda, and education has suffered ever since the first one stuck his nose into a school somewhere.

7. "The eroticization of birth control"

Someone please explain that one to me. AI can't even come up with a definition.

White teens should have lots of sex to produce white babies, but it can't be, "pleasurable."
