Bill > HR2617

This bill proposes to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 by prohibiting federal education funds from being used to teach or promote "gender ideology," which is defined by referencing a specific executive order. The bill, titled the "Say No to Indoctrination Act," would add a new provision to existing education law that prevents schools from using federal funding to advance concepts related to gender ideology. This amendment would effectively restrict educational institutions from teaching certain perspectives on gender that the bill's sponsors view as problematic. By referencing Executive Order 14168, which aims to "defend women from gender ideology extremism and restore biological truth to the Federal Government," the bill seeks to limit discussions or instruction about gender that fall outside of what the bill's proponents consider traditional or biological understandings of gender. The proposed change would be added to the section of law that outlines prohibited uses of federal education funds, making it a potential compliance and funding issue for schools that might otherwise discuss gender-related topics.
