The order establishes a federal policy that prohibits the use of discretionary federal funds to support or subsidize educational institutions that require COVID-19 vaccinations for in-person attendance. It directs the Secretary of Education to issue guidelines to schools, educational agencies, and higher education institutions outlining the legal obligations of these entities regarding parental authority, religious freedom, disability accommodations, and equal protection under the law, as relevant to coercive COVID-19 school mandates.
