Military families would get back books and learning materials removed from DoD schools.
This bill would require military schools to restore access to books and learning materials that were removed earlier this year. It would also set new rules for how the Secretary of Defense can change school curricula or remove materials in the future. Plus, it would cancel several recent Executive Orders that affect the Department of Defense.
Currently, the Secretary of Defense may have restricted access to certain curricula, books, and learning materials at Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools, potentially influenced by recent Executive Orders. There are no explicit statutory limitations on the Secretary's ability to issue directives affecting DoDEA school curricula, administration, or personnel, or to limit cultural events, beyond existing regulations. This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to restore access to materials available before January 20, 2025, at DoDEA schools and would impose new statutory limitations on the Secretary's ability to restrict curricula, learning materials, and cultural events. It would also nullify specific Executive Orders with respect to the Department of Defense and mandate a study by the Comptroller General on establishing an independent body for DoDEA curricula.
