This bill would change federal education law to stop schools from using Elementary and Secondary Education Act funds to create, run, or promote programs, activities, or materials for minors containing "sexually oriented material." That term is broadly defined to include sexually explicit conduct and any material involving gender dysphoria or transgenderism, plus nudity, stripping, or lewd dancing. Exceptions remain for standard science classes, world religion texts, specific classic literature and art lists, and anti-trafficking/grooming safety lessons.
Public K-12 schools, teachers, and vendors relying on federal education funding would be affected, along with students and families whose access to school-funded materials could change.
The bill could limit federally funded school programs, books, or activities addressing transgender topics, sex education beyond basic biology, or certain LGBTQ-related content for minors.
