President Donald Trump on Friday signed an Executive Order to stop US schools from receiving federal funding if they require students to take Covid-19 vaccines, fulfilling yet another campaign promise.
“That solves that problem,” Trump said at a signing inside the Oval Office, adding it would be implemented through the Department of Education.
The order reportedly prohibits “federal funds from being used to support or subsidize an educational service agency, state education agency, local education agency, elementary school, secondary school, or institution of higher education that requires students to have received a COVID-19 vaccination to attend in-person education programs,” according to Breitbart.
The Hill reports Trump has tasked Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy with devising a wind-down order “to end these mandates and end federal funding for entities that do not comply.”
“This would include writing a report about ‘non-compliant entities’ and developing a system to halt federal funding to ‘educational entities’ with coronavirus mandates,” notes Breitbart.
The Trump admin said the mandates were “threatening educational opportunities for students,” adding they force parents “into a difficult position: comply with a controversial mandate or risk their child’s educational future,” according to a fact sheet handed out to reporters.
Asked in December after winning the election his sentiments on vaccine mandates in schools, Trump replied, “I don’t like mandates. I’m not a big mandate person.”
Friday’s order fulfills yet another promise Trump made on the campaign trail, where he vowed to “not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.”
