Key Points

  • This would make an existing Trump executive order on “educational freedom” into a permanent federal law.
  • Because it’s a law, a future president couldn’t easily undo it just by canceling the executive order.
  • The bill says it does not change how private or religious K–12 schools are judged under federal sex-discrimination rules.
  • It also says it does not change whether those schools count as part of the government for constitutional lawsuits.
  • Practical impact depends on what the executive order requires, but this bill’s main change is making that order harder to reverse.
