U.S. Senator Ted Budd from North Carolina has joined forces with Senator Jim Risch of Idaho to introduce the Say No to Indoctrination Act. This legislation aims to make permanent an executive order by former President Trump, which prevents taxpayer funds from being used in K-12 schools that teach radical gender ideology.
Senator Budd stated, “For far too long, radical left-wing ideology has preyed on K-12 students in our nation’s school systems. It’s high time we put a stop to these woke lesson plans that take advantage of children and undermine parental rights. I am proud to join Senator Risch and my colleagues to prevent taxpayer dollars from funding public schools that teach gender ideology.”
Senator Risch added, “Schools should prepare our children for the future, not promote radical gender ideology. The Say No to Indoctrination Act puts an end to woke education practices in K-12 schools and makes President Trump’s common-sense policy permanent.”
The bill is co-sponsored by Senators Mike Crapo of Idaho, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Eric Schmitt of Missouri, and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.
The Say No to Indoctrination Act has garnered support from organizations such as Concerned Women for America and the American Principles Project.
This legislative effort seeks to codify an executive order issued by President Trump on January 20, 2025, which mandates that no taxpayer dollars be allocated to K-12 schools promoting radical gender ideology.
