(Natural News) The Biden administration is spending $1.5 million to promote transgender ideology in federal prisons, a move Republican lawmakers described as “flushing taxpayer money down the drain.”
The egregiously wasteful endeavor came to light by means of a July 2021 contract signed by the Department of Justice‘s Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and Carson City, Nevada-based The Change Companies (TCC).
The agreement involved a “transgender programming curriculum” amounting to $1.5 million, the details of which are reportedly set to be finalized on Sept. 30.
In a statement, the BOP said the program will provide “techniques to seek support for mental health concerns and skills to advocate for physical, emotional and sexual health and safety.”
“The BOP recognizes the importance of appropriate gender-affirming management and treatment of transgender individuals in its custody. By entering into a contract with The Change Companies, the BOP is able to expand program offerings for transgender inmates,” its statement added.
Since 2008, TCC has received $3.4 million in awards from the BOP in four states – Nevada, West Virginia, California and Kansas. The July 2021 contract was among the largest the federal agency awarded to the Nevada-based firm.
