Schools that use a student's requested pronouns could lose federal funds under new Trump order
Briefly

President Donald Trump's latest executive order enters the heated 'parental rights' debate, aiming to cut federal funding for schools that affirm transgender children. This action reflects Trump's ongoing anti-transgender policies, following previous moves to ban transgender service members from the military. The order contradicts California state law that safeguards transgender students' rights, including confidentiality protections. It mandates an 'Ending Indoctrination Strategy' from federal secretaries within 90 days and seeks to eliminate funding for educational practices deemed as 'discriminatory indoctrination.' Additionally, it aims to revive the '1776 Commission' to promote a sanitized historical narrative.
President Trump’s executive order tackles the 'parental rights' issue, mandating that federal funding for schools be tied to compliance with his anti-transgender directives.
