Blocks federal education money from teaching 'gender ideology' concepts.
This bill would stop schools and educators from using federal education money to teach or promote ideas related to 'gender ideology.' It changes an existing law about how federal education funds can be used. This means schools that get money from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act would have new limits on what they can teach.
Today, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 lists certain things federal education funds cannot be used for, but it does not specifically mention 'gender ideology.' If this bill becomes law, schools and educators would be prohibited from using these federal funds to teach or advance concepts related to 'gender ideology.' The bill says this definition would come from section 2 of Executive Order 14168 (90 Fed. Reg. 8615). That Executive Order is about 'defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the Federal Government'.
