Colorado Colleges Push Back On Bill Cutting Student Aid To Private Schools

By Jessica Porter | Denver7 A last-minute amendment added to HB26-1345 prohibits state financial aid or work study programs for students at private institutions.

In short, the report found that, after surging in the 2010s and 2020s, trans and “queer” identities are in sharp decline among young Americans. Colleges — typically maligned as being the breeding ground for far-leftism in 2025 — saw the number of trans-identifying students cut nearly in half after its peak in 2023. That year, nearly 7 percent of college students identified as trans. That number now sits at less than 4 percent.
