Summary
Stop the Sexualization of Children Act This bill prohibits the use of federal elementary and secondary education funds for sexually oriented material. Sexually oriented material is material that (1) includes any depiction, description, or simulation of sexually explicit conduct; or (2) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism. Specifically, the bill prohibits the use of these funds to develop, implement, facilitate, host, or promote any program or activity for, or to provide or promote literature or other materials to, children under the age of 18 that includes sexually oriented material. This includes any program, activity, literature, or material that exposes children to nude adults, individuals who are stripping, or lewd or lascivious dancing. The bill does not prohibit the use of funds for the teaching of standard science coursework (e.g., biology, genetics, human health, and human anatomy), the texts of major world religions, classic works of literature or art (as defined by the bill), or security measures designed to help students recognize and safely respond to methods and attempts to sexually traffic children or groom children for sexual trafficking.
