President Trump signed an executive order Friday that halts federal funding for schools and universities that require students to be vaccinated against coronavirus.
The order would block federal funding to education agencies, K-12 schools and colleges and universities that require students to get COVID-19 vaccination to attend classes in person.
It also directs newly-sworn in Health and Human Services Secretary Robert. F. Kennedy and the education secretary to create guidelines that institutions can follow and provide a plan to “end coercive COVID-19 vaccine mandates.”
