New Mexico High School Redirects $10K Grant to Purchase Chest Binders and LGBTQ Books
Centennial High School used funds intended for a 'transgender closet' to buy chest binders for a Pride event and stock its library with pro-LGBTQ literature.
- The $10,000 grant from the nonprofit It Gets Better was originally meant to create a 'gender-inclusive closet.'
- Instead, $8,370 was spent on chest binders distributed at a local Pride event.
- The remaining funds were used to purchase LGBTQ-themed books for the school library.
- A public records request revealed the allocation of the grant funds.
- Concerns have been raised about the potential health risks of chest binders and the ideological impact of the books.
