On Thursday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) and Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) introduced the Say No to Indoctrination Act. This legislation aims to make permanent President Trump's executive order from January 2025, which prevents taxpayer money from being used to fund gender ideology in K-12 schools.

"As American students lag behind globally in math, reading, and writing, the last thing our taxpayer-funded teachers and schools should be doing is teaching radical leftist nonsense like so-called gender theory," said Senator Marshall. "I’m proud to support this legislation to codify President Trump’s executive order, and ensure our children’s education is focused on meaningful, future-ready skills, not woke ideology."

"Schools should prepare our children for the future, not promote radical gender ideology," said Senator Risch. "The Say No to Indoctrination Act puts an end to woke education practices in K-12 schools and makes President Trump’s common-sense policy permanent."

The bill is also supported by Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Ted Budd (R-North Carolina), Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), Eric Schmitt (R-Missouri), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama). It has received backing from Concerned Women for America and the American Principles Project.
