The federal Administration for Children and Families has instructed the Alaska Department of Health & Social Services to remove content related to gender ideology from its state Personal Responsibility Education Program, a federally funded initiative for adolescent health education.
In a letter dated Aug. 26, ACF cited materials submitted by Alaska to the federal agency for a routine medical accuracy review of PREP curricula for fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The review was halted after federal officials determined that some of the content, specifically lessons addressing gender ideology, fell outside the scope of the program’s authorizing statute.
“ACF identified content in the curricula and other program materials that fall outside of the scope of PREP’s authorizing statute,” the letter states. “All references to this content must be removed from Alaska’s PREP curricula and program materials.”
Some of the material in Alaska curricula that is not considered biologically accurate and that could risk funding withdrawal include these currently taught concepts:
Unit 3: Human Development and Sexual Health, pages 218-19: “Gender Identity – A person’s own sense of identification as male or female. Not necessarily the same as an individual’s biological identity.
Transgender – A term for a person whose gender identity does not match society’s expectations for someone with their physical sex characteristics.
Two Spirited – A term used in some Native American communities. This refers to people having both a male and female spirit. This can include ideas of both sexual orientation and gender identity.
Pansexual – People who are physically and/or emotionally attracted to members of any sexual orientation or gender identity. Their attraction is not limited to any specific group.
Transsexual – A person who experiences intense personal and emotional discomfort with his or her birth gender and may undergo treatment to transition gender.
Gender Expression – The way in which people express their gender identity to. others. This may be the stereotypical expressions of male or female; it may also be a combination of the two genders or a mixed or multiple model of male and female expressions.”
- Page 230: “Explain to students that being in high school presents many challenges and is often a difficult time for many students. Furthermore, students who may be questioning their gender identity or sexual orientation or for students who don’t feel like they fit into what society expects of them in terms of gender roles or relationships are presented with additional pressures and challenges.”
Page 36: “Language Matters. It is important to use gender neutral language while facilitating the sessions. Every effort has been made in these sessions to use language that is gender neutral. We want to provide a space where all students feel welcome and safe, therefore the proper use of language is a key component for consideration.”
- Page 49: “Do you think there is any difference in how someone chooses their friend/partner if they are LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, two spirited, queer)?”
The federal agency also warned that additional enforcement actions could be taken if Alaska does not comply, including withholding or terminating federal funding. Alaska’s DHSS has been given until Oct. 27 to submit revised materials.
Personal Responsibility Education Program is a federally funded program aimed at promoting adolescent health through education on topics such as sexual health, pregnancy prevention, healthy relationships, and decision-making skills. Federal guidelines specify that curricula must focus on topics authorized under the law and that content must be medically accurate.

I was 3 Spirit in high school. Two of my ‘spirits’ were conjoined twins. I never felt that I fit in among the 2 Spirit community and was always afraid of being 3 Spirit genocided.
Huh?
When I was in high school, a very witchy teacher turned me into a newt!
I got better.
Does gender ideology include instruction for trans people on how to shoot innocent young Catholic children? LGBTQ is a SICK world.
Why do we have to wait for the POTUS to come fix Alaska? What does Dunleavy do all day every day?
No, that would be the NRA handbook. It’s in the Thoughts and Prayer Chapter.
The NRA handbook emphasizes gun safety and personal responsibility, not narcissistic, hateful, and selfish suicides that murder children and victimize families.
If triggered deranged democrats pretending to be women would quit shooting up schools, that would be great. Lets put that flaming bag of crap back on your porch where it belongs, instead of deflecting. I guess it’s the democrat way of taking their problem and blaming someone else for it.
Been a member of the NRA for decades now.
I have yet to be provided a handbook.
.
Ohhh… I get it. You are saying the NRA supports murderers. I bet you think I am guilty of murder because I am a member as well. Got it.
.
Not even close to reality, and not funny in any way.
AK For Freedom:
Come in for evaluation and mental consult.
My psychiatric office is now in-taking TDS and other mental disalignment cases, like yours.
You better put down the plastic protective cover on your couch when he does come in — like other toddlers, these types tend to have ‘accidents’.
Remove! Good and get it done!
They are all mentally ill. Every single one of the “Trans” Gay community. So are the ones pushing this garbage.
Alaska Department of Health & Social Services Commissioner Heidi Hedberg is apparently still employed there after being –ordered– by the feds to remove content related to gender ideology from the state Personal Responsibility Education Program.
.
Is this not prooof that the intent to indoctrinate, mutilate, groom, and drug schoolchildren into mutant misfits –and murderers– goes right to the top, to Commissioner Hedberg?
.
Maybe Governor Dunleavy fired this one already?
.
What say you, Governor D.?
Why does the federal government have to force this to happen. Why aren’t school boards and schools doing this as a matter of course since the executive order was signed. If you think the trans and LGBTQIA+ promoters are the problem, think again. The problem starts at the top with the school administration and school boards.
The only time gender ideology should every appear in a classroom is if a child asks a question about it. And, if they do, it should not become a class topic.
.
And it should NEVER be a taught subject. Nope, not even during the sex portion of HS health or biology class. It is inappropriate to a LOT of topics in a classroom, unless it is in a historical/scientific manner. So… why does LGBTQWERTY+ end up as a subject?
