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.
