Civil LibertiesFederal school money could not pay to teach gender ideology — with the definition set by executive order.
Civil Liberties
Money from the main federal K-12 education law could not pay for teaching or advancing these concepts. The limit follows the money, so state and local funds are not covered.
More about this bill
Public schools that take federal K-12 money could not use it to teach or promote what the bill calls gender ideology. The ban would join an existing list of things federal education money cannot pay for. Which ideas count would be set by an executive order signed in 2025, not by the bill itself. A future President could change that definition without going back to Congress. Schools could still teach the subject using state or local money.
