Published Date: 4/9/2025
Presidential Document
Summary
April 2025 is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, focusing on protecting kids from harm and harmful ideas. The President is cracking down on schools and groups promoting gender ideology, banning taxpayer money for such actions, and boosting family support to keep children safe and happy. These efforts include stronger border security to stop child trafficking and promote kids’ health and well-being.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Taxpayer Funding Cut for Youth Sex Surgery
If you are a parent, the proclamation cites Executive Order 14187 and says the Government will cut off taxpayer funding to any institution that 'engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth.' This means public money will not go to institutions the President says provide those procedures to minors.
Public Schools Barred from 'Gender Ideology'
If you have children in public school, the proclamation cites Executive Order 14187 and states public schools are prohibited from 'indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology.' This directs public schools not to promote that ideology in schools.
Border Security to Stop Child Trafficking
The proclamation says the Administration has taken 'historic action to secure our southern border and end child trafficking' to protect children. This emphasizes stronger border enforcement measures aimed at preventing child trafficking and promoting child safety.
