In a decisive move, former President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at withholding federal funding from schools and colleges that mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for students. This action reflects his ongoing opposition to vaccine mandates, as he calls for an end to policies that require vaccinations in educational institutions. The executive order seeks to bar federal funding for schools with such mandates, signaling a significant shift in federal policy regarding public health and education as it pertains to COVID-19. Trump’s insistence on defunding these institutions has sparked nationwide debate and criticism, with many questioning the potential consequences for school funding and public health safety.
