NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee is among the 46 states and territories put on notice to remove gender ideology content from sex ed materials.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through its Administration for Children and Families has demanded that the following remove all references to gender ideology in their federally-funded Personal Responsibility Education Program educational materials within 60 days.
“Accountability is coming,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison. “Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
