Say No to Indoctrination Act
HR 2617, the "Say No to Indoctrination Act," amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to prohibit public K-12 schools receiving federal funds from teaching "concepts related to gender ideology" as defined in Executive Order 14168. The bill adds this specific restriction to Section 8526 of the ESEA, directly affecting curriculum content in federally funded schools. This policy change would require schools to avoid instructional materials or lessons addressing gender identity concepts as defined by the referenced executive order.
