Keeping Education Accessible and Ending Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates in Schools

This Presidential order aims to prevent the use of federal funds for schools that mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for students.

It asserts that the low risk of severe illness for children and young adults makes such mandates an infringement on personal freedom.

The order directs the Secretary of Education to create guidelines regarding parental rights, religious freedom, and equal protection and to develop a plan to end coercive mandates, consistent with applicable law.

This plan includes identifying federal grants and contracts to non-compliant schools and outlining how to prevent future funding to such institutions.
