Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families
Addressing the shortcomings of the current public education system, the order directs federal agencies to explore using existing funds to support state-based educational choice initiatives, prioritize education freedom in grant programs, and provide guidance on using block grants to expand educational choices for low-income families and military families.
It also mandates a review of funding mechanisms for families of children eligible for Bureau of Indian Education schools.
Reinstating Service Members Discharged Under the Military's COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate
It also allows service members who left voluntarily rather than face the mandate to return to service without penalty.
The order includes provisions for addressing any disciplinary actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and reporting requirements for the Secretaries.
Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness
It mandates updates to Department of Defense medical standards to exclude individuals expressing gender identities inconsistent with their biological sex, revokes Executive Order 14004, and restricts access to gender-segregated facilities based on biological sex.
The order aims to ensure the Armed Forces remain the world's most effective fighting force.
