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

On February 14, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools, emphasizing personal freedom and parental authority. The order directs the Secretary of Education to issue guidelines and create a plan to prevent federal funding for educational institutions that require COVID-19 vaccinations for in-person attendance. This move could lead to significant legal and political debates regarding federal versus local control in educational and public health policies.
