Prohibiting Federal Funds for Schools with Mask Mandates

This bill aims to prohibit federal funding for schools that mandate face masks for students or limit participation for those who choose not to wear them. This means schools wishing to receive government financial support will need to drop mandatory mask policies for children. This will directly impact school rules and the freedom of choice for parents and students.
Key points
Schools (preschool, elementary, secondary) with mandatory student mask policies will lose access to federal funds.
The bill prohibits schools from limiting participation in activities for students who voluntarily choose not to wear a mask.
Educational agencies must certify the rescission of mask mandates to receive federal assistance.
