A Homeland Security official told FOX News on Thursday that the department, run by Kristi Noem, was cancelling funding to the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships because of ‘ideology’. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in the interview:
“These cancellations reflect DHS’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and national security. By eliminating wasteful and ideologically driven programs, we are redirecting resources to initiatives that uphold American values, respect the rule of law and effectively combat terrorism and violence.”
The Department of Homeland characterized the cuts as:
Supporting and Mentoring Youth Advocates and Leaders group, which promoted radical gender ideology in K–12 schools, targeting students as young as kindergartners and flagging parental concerns as risks.
CenterLink, a nonprofit focused on LGBTQ issues, not terrorism prevention.
Eradicate Hate Global Summit, a DEI organization focused on silencing ideological opposition.
the United States Esports Association, which targeted gamers with “woke” content under the pretext of violence prevention.
the One World Strong program, which labeled traditional male behaviors as extremist and stigmatizing young males.
the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and Strong Cities Network, which promoted biased anti-extremism initiatives, LGBTQ+ propaganda, and prioritized radical groups over broader community concerns.
