S. 5261, introduced by Mr. Booker, aims to authorize grants for local educational agencies to cover costs associated with legal challenges when they decide not to remove specific instructional or library materials from public schools. The bill outlines a reimbursement process...
Simple Explanation
The bill lets schools get money from the government to help pay for lawyers if they get sued for choosing not to remove certain books or teaching stuff. They can get up to $100,000 for these cases, but only if no one else is helping to pay, and there's a total budget of $15 million for this from 2025 to 2029.
