Montana to Revise Sex Education Curriculum Amid Federal Funding Threats
September 10, 2025 - 12:38
In a significant move, Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) has announced plans to revise its sex education curriculum to eliminate content related to gender ideology. This decision comes in response to federal government warnings regarding the potential revocation of sex education grants across 46 states and territories if they continue to include such material.
The shift in Montana's educational approach reflects a broader national trend as states grapple with federal guidelines and funding stipulations. The state aims to align its curriculum with federal expectations, which have already resulted in funding cuts for states like California that have resisted similar changes.
As educators and policymakers navigate these complex issues, the focus remains on ensuring that sex education is both compliant with federal mandates and effective in addressing the needs of students. The upcoming revisions may spark further debate on the role of gender ideology in educational content and its implications for youth development.
