CHARLIE Act

The CHARLIE Act modifies federal funding rules for American history and civics education to restrict how grants can be awarded and used. It directly affects schools and organizations receiving these funds by prohibiting the use of money for what the bill defines as "discriminatory equity ideology" or "gender ideology." Additionally, the law prevents the government from giving priority to applicants based on factors such as race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or immigration status. By referencing specific executive orders, the bill establishes clear definitions for these prohibited concepts within the context of K-12 schooling.
