Restoring Access to Educational Materials in Military Schools
This Act aims to restore access to all educational materials, books, and curricula that were available in military schools before January 20, 2025. It also limits the ability to impose new restrictions on educational content and cultural events, granting more control to local advisory committees. Additionally, it nullifies certain executive orders that may have impacted military school curricula and policies.
Key points
Military schools must restore all educational materials and books available before January 20, 2025, within 30 days of the Act's enactment.
New restrictions on curricula, books, or cultural events in military schools will require approval from local advisory committees and notification to Congress.
The Act nullifies seven executive orders related to, among other things, K-12 schooling, school discipline, and equality policies within the Department of Defense.
A study is mandated to explore the feasibility of establishing an independent body to design curricula for Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) schools, aiming to insulate them from political influence.
