The bill explicitly defines 'sexually oriented material' to include anything involving 'gender dysphoria or transgenderism.' This means any school program, book, or resource discussing transgender identities or experiences could lose federal funding. LGBTQ+ students and families would see a significant reduction in inclusive educational materials and support programs in schools that depend on federal money.
Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 632.
The bill is now on the schedule for the full chamber to consider. It's in line for debate and a vote.
