AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar federal education funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act from going to public elementary or secondary schools whose employees or contractors provide counseling, therapy, or guidance related to gender identity to students under 18. This includes helping create a gender support or social transition plan. School staff and contractors also could not encourage students to hide information about their gender identity or social transition from parents, or advise them on how to do so. Parents could sue a school in federal court to stop a violation involving their child.
