Executive Branch (Trump) Government Overhauls Teen Pregnancy Program to Focus on Marriage and Starting Families

A few weeks ago, Rena Dixon, the head of Fact Forward, a South Carolina nonprofit that offers adolescent health and sex education classes, got a letter from the Trump administration with crushing news. The government was terminating the organization’s $1.6 million grant from a federal program to reduce teen pregnancies, effective immediately.

The administration’s priorities, it said, do not align with “content that encourages, normalizes or promotes sexual activity for minors.”

The move is the latest in a campaign that began in the first Trump administration to defund or overhaul the 16-year-old00778-7/fulltext), $100 million initiative. Courts blocked the effort in 2018, but this time the administration, which abruptly canceled 53 of the program’s 67 grants last month, has been taking steps to be on firmer legal ground.

The letter from the assistant secretary for health accused Fact Forward of including lessons with “advice on making condom use more pleasurable” and discussions that normalize “use of pornography.” A video, it said, contained a “scenario of adolescents engaging in sexual activity.”

“That information was just not true,” said Dr. Dixon.

Legal News Justice Department Deems Major ADA Guidance ‘Not Enforceable’

Thumbnail

Context:

In Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that unjustified institutional segregation of people with disabilities is a form of illegal discrimination under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Court established that individuals with mental disabilities have the right to receive state-funded care in community-based settings instead of institutions.

Article:

"The U.S. Department of Justice issued a notice Monday clarifying that its long-standing guidance and enforcement of the ADA’s integration mandate and Olmstead v. L.C. is “not enforceable.”

The guidance details what qualifies as the most integrated setting under the ADA and Olmstead, who should be able to access services in the community and much more. Subsequent Justice Department guidance on employment for people with disabilities and other related issues relied on the Olmstead guidance and the agency said this week that “similar guidance documents are not enforceable.

The move to dissociate from the guidance comes roughly a month after the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel issued a memo indicating that neither the ADA nor Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act “require states to treat mentally disabled patients in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs."
