Bill > HR2616

This bill, titled the "Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act," requires public elementary and middle schools that receive funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), a federal law providing financial assistance to schools, to obtain written consent from a parent or guardian before making any changes to a minor student's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on school forms, or before altering their access to sex-based accommodations like locker rooms or bathrooms. Additionally, the bill amends the ESEA to prohibit the use of its funds for teaching or promoting concepts related to "gender ideology," a term defined in a related executive order concerning the federal government's approach to gender-related issues.
