Nonprofit got $22 million in gov't grants to teach kids about sex toys

Here we go again, guys. Get ready for another wild ride through the swamp of government waste and moral decay and don't forget to hold your nose.

The feds have been funneling your hard-earned tax dollars—over $22 million since 2016, to be exact—into a nonprofit called the Center for Innovative Public Health Research (CIPHR). Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. This outfit’s been cooking up “health education programs” that are less about health and more about pushing deviant agendas on American kids. And trust me, it’s as bad as it sounds.

Let’s start with their Girl2Girl program, launched in 2017. It’s billed as a “sex ed program just for teen girls who are into girls,” targeting kids mostly 14 to 16 years old. 

The program’s website brags about sending “daily text messages . . . about things like sex with girls and boys.” Dig a little deeper, and you find out those texts are diving into “lube and sex toys,” “different types of sex and ways to increase pleasure,” and what it’s like growing up as a teen girl into girls. Oh, and here’s the kicker: they tell these kids to make their “own decision[s]” about joining the program and—get this—not to bother telling their parents if they don’t feel like it. Yes, they’re coaching minors to keep secrets from mom and dad. 

Now why would they do that?

Then there’s Transcendent Health, CIPHR’s latest brainstorm from 2023, which snagged a cool $1.3 million in federal cash before the grant ran dry last month. This one’s aimed at “gender minority teens” and had them filling out forms asking if they’d had sex “with a transgender guy” or “with a non-binary person.” Real classy, right? They’re out here grilling kids on their sex lives like it’s just another Tuesday.

At the helm of this circus is CIPHR’s CEO, Michele Ybarra, who seems to have zero regard for parents’ rights. In a 2022 Brown University webinar, she laid it all bare, talking about how her team preps “young person[s]” for focus groups. 

Here’s her gem, verbatim: “If we’re doing focus groups, we will ask, ‘Okay, so what happens if somebody comes into the room and sees words like penis and sex toys on your screen—on your computer screen or on your phone? What if it’s your mom?’” 

Let that sink in. She’s not just okay with kids seeing this stuff—she’s planning for it and making sure they’ve got a game plan to hide it.

Ybarra’s been at this for years. Back in 2017, she was presenting survey results from CIPHR that asked 14- to 16-year-olds if they’d had “receptive anal sex” or “insertive anal sex.” In that same 2022 webinar, she doubled down, saying her team “wanted to know a bit more about when and why and where trans kids are choosing to have sex.” 

Look, I’m no prude, but this is straight-up predatory. These are children, not lab rats for her creepy social experiments. It's as if she gets off on their responses.

Here’s the bottom line: the federal government has no business bankrolling this garbage. Programs that beam explicit messages to kids and tell them to lie to their parents don’t deserve a dime of taxpayer money. The Department of Health and Human Services needs to pull the plug on CIPHR’s contracts ASAP and slam the door on any future grants.

If the Trump administration wants to drain the swamp, here’s a perfect place to start—send a loud and clear message that we’re done subsidizing perverted “research” projects. Time to put kids first and shut this madness down.
