TRUMP BANS FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS WITH COVID-19 VACCINE RULES
Read Time:1 Minute, 7 Second
On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order blocking federal funding for schools that continue to enforce COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The executive order, according to a report from Breitbart confirmed by the White House, prohibits “federal funds from being used to support or subsidise 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 programmes.”
It also instructed the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, and the Secretary of Education to establish guidelines for compliance and to “provide a plan to end coercive COVID-19 vaccine mandates.”
“That solves that problem,” Trump said in the Oval Office.
The order allows Trump to fulfill his campaign promise to eliminate school mandates that were implemented after COVID-19 vaccines were introduced during the pandemic in his first term.
Additionally, last month, Trump signed an executive order for the U.S. to withdraw from the WHO, an organization he has frequently criticized for its response to the COVID-19 crisis.
Speaking at the White House just hours after his inauguration, Trump stated that the U.S. was contributing significantly more to the UN agency than China, asserting, “World Health ripped us off.”
