Summary
Several arts organizations have sued the Trump administration in response to Executive Order 14168, “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” Following this EO, these arts organizations lost federal grants as they appeared to be "promoting gender ideology." This lawsuit asserts that the NEA’s “gender ideology” prohibition is unconstitutional under the First and Fifth Amendments.
