Summary
The bill amends the General Education Provisions Act to bar State and local educational agencies from using federal education program funds to purchase, develop, distribute, or provide instructional materials containing sexually explicit content to students in kindergarten through grade 12. The term "sexually explicit content" is defined as graphic depictions or descriptions of sexual acts, excluding age-appropriate material used for legitimate instruction in anatomy, health, or biological science consistent with State standards. The bill also requires local agencies receiving federal funds to let parents or guardians inspect instructional materials, directs the Secretary of Education to enforce the restriction as a condition of fund use, and states that it does not create a national curriculum. A non-binding policy statement in the bill refers to Executive Order 14190.
