This decision is framed as a fulfillment\u200b of his campaign promises and emphasizes parental rights in determining their children\u2019s educational paths without goverment pressure. The \u2062order prohibits the \u2063use\u2062 of federal \u2064funds for educational institutions that require students to be\u2063 vaccinated to participate in in-person programs. \u200dAdditionally, it instructs the secretaries of education and health to formulate a plan to end\u2062 such \u200cmandates, which the White House argues compel students to \u2062make vaccination decisions under governmental coercion, potentially jeopardizing their educational opportunities.
