In his ongoing fight against transgender ideology, President Donald Trump vowed to defund California schools that persist in promoting transgenderism.

“Any California school district that doesn’t adhere to our transgender policies, will not be funded,” Trump vowed Thursday morning in a Truth Social post, according to Newsmax. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Another Trump post blasted California Gov. Gavin Newsom. “Gavin Newscum is way down in the polls,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He is viewed as the man who is destroying the once Great State of California. I will save California!!! President DJT”

Trump has been against transgender ideology since day one of his current administration, issuing an Executive Order called “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government.”

“Federal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology. Each agency shall assess grant conditions and grantee preferences and ensure grant funds do not promote gender ideology,” wrote Trump in the Executive Order.

“Agencies shall take all necessary steps, as permitted by law, to end the federal funding of gender ideology,” Trump’s order read. Trump followed his original order by signing another directive in February that denied federal funds from schools that permit men who identify as women to play in female sports.
