Keeping Education Accessible and Ending Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates in Schools

Presidential Action February 15, 2025 Document 1374

Summary

The presidential order aims to prevent educational institutions from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations as a condition for in-person attendance by withholding discretionary federal funds from non-compliant schools. It emphasizes respecting parental authority, religious freedom, and equal protection under the law, directing the Secretary of Education to issue guidelines and develop a plan to end coercive vaccine mandates. This action could significantly impact schools and universities by shifting the focus to personal choice and potentially altering funding structures based on compliance.
