Colorado's sex ed faces federal ultimatum: Here's why $1 million is on the line

Colorado risks losing over $1 million in federal funding unless it removes gender ideology from its sex education curriculum, following a directive from the US Department of Health and Human Services. The Trump administration's move has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates, who warn it threatens vulnerable students and inclusive education. State officials and advocacy groups are reviewing legal options and emphasising the importance of local control over school programmes.
