This bill, known as the "Say No to Indoctrination Act," proposes to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to introduce a new restriction on federal funding. Its primary purpose is to prohibit the use of ESEA funds for any activities that involve teaching or advancing concepts related to gender ideology. The legislation specifies that "gender ideology" is defined by referencing Section 2 of Executive Order 14168. This Executive Order is characterized as relating to "defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the Federal Government," thereby providing a specific framework for the concepts to be excluded from federally funded educational programs.
