What it does
The bill says schools cannot use federal money to buy or make sexual content for kids. Schools can still teach about bodies, health, or science in age-right ways. The bill lets parents see what schools teach their kids. The Secretary of Education must check that schools follow this rule.
Who it affects
Parents get the right to look at what schools teach. Schools that get federal money must follow the new rule or lose that money.
One thing to notice
The bill does not say what 'age-right' means. Schools may cut back on health class to keep federal money.
