Project 2025 outlines an educational reform agenda that emphasizes the instillation of traditional values concerning marriage and relationships.

The document suggests implementing educational programs that promote sexual risk avoidance and healthy, traditional marriages as central themes.

This educational shift poses significant concerns for diversity and inclusion, as it may lead to the exclusion of comprehensive sex education that includes discussions of LGBTQ+ relationships, consent, and safe sexual practices.

Moreover, the focus on traditional family structures in education could marginalize students from non-traditional families, contributing to an environment where diversity is not valued or represented in school curricula.

The potential erasure of diverse family representations in educational materials could reinforce stigmatization of non-traditional family units and limit the cultural competence of all students, ultimately fostering a less inclusive and understanding school environment [Project 2025, page 512].
