Stop the Sexualization of Children Act

This bill would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to bar the use of funds under that Act for programs, activities, literature, or other materials for children under 18 that include sexually oriented material. This includes material that exposes children to nude adults, people stripping, or lewd or lascivious dancing. The bill defines sexually oriented material as content that depicts, describes, or simulates sexually explicit conduct, or that involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism. Funds could still be used to teach standard science coursework, texts of major world religions, and classic works of literature and art, which the bill defines by reference to specific published lists.
