El Salvador Removes ‘Gender Ideology’ Content From Schools

El Salvador has banned all gender ideology content from their public school system starting this week.

“Confirmed: We have removed every use or trace of gender ideology from public schools,” education minister Jose Mauricio Pineda said.

The minister made the confirmation shortly after his office issued a clarification this week stating that gender ideology content no longer appeared in any “guides, books and other educational materials” in schools.

“Care has been taken to ensure that all educational materials and programs, teaching resources, lesson plans, textbooks, administrative documents, websites, learning guides, multimedia objects and other related documentation does not contain or allude to this ideology, completely disassociating it from the work of this ministry,” Pineda continued.

The minister called on the directors, managers, chiefs, and other staff to “take care of the integral education of our students,” asking them to abide by the provisions against gender ideology content “to avoid punitive measures that may result in the termination of their functions, according to due process.”
