A federally-funded government agency is slated to spend nearly $1 million in taxpayer funds on biology classes that deny there are only two genders, according to an investigation from The Daily Wire.
The National Science Foundation is granting three universities a collective $1 million to help make biology classes on college campuses more inclusive for transgender students, by denying the reality that sex is binary. The National Science Foundation is supposed to focus on promoting scientific progress and securing national defense.
The three colleges piloting this program include the University of Minnesota, Colorado State University, and Florida International University.
The three academic institutions received a total of $905,694 in taxpayer funding for the study. The study is reportedly titled, “Collaborative Research: A qualitative inquiry into sex/gender narratives in undergraduate biology and their impacts on transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming students.”
The description of the grant money abstract claims that there’s an “oversimplification of sex and gender into binary categories” that makes transgender and non-binary students uncomfortable.
“Early data suggest that how sex and gender topics are represented in the biology curriculum impacts [transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming] students’ sense of belonging and interest in biology,” the abstract reads.
The grant appears to create a pathway to develop a curriculum that focuses on gender ideology over biological realities. This government-backed curriculum could become the standard of biology across college and university campuses.
This is yet another example of the federal government funding radical gender ideology via “scientific” studies. For example, the Department of Health and Human Services spent nearly $700,000 in taxpayer dollars to develop a transgender-inclusive sex education program for children. The curriculum, in part, created a way to make sure young biological girls who identified as boys learned that transgender boys can still get pregnant.
The University of Minnesota, Colorado State University, Florida International University, and the National Science Foundation made limited or no comments about the study of biology courses on college campuses.
