Stop Secret Counseling of Students Act

H.R. 7981 would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to restrict federal funding for public schools. Specifically, the bill would prohibit schools from receiving federal education funds if they provide counseling, therapy, or guidance related to gender identity to students under 18 years of age. The bill is currently under consideration by the House Committee on Education and Workforce. If enacted, schools that provide such counseling would lose access to federal education funding. The bill does not address private schools or other types of student support services. This is a standard piece of legislation that would require presidential signature to become law.
