Protecting Our Students Act
To strip federal funding from schools that do not comply with mandates regarding LGBT students

1. Federal funding for schools that do not comply with mandates regarding LGBT, racial, and religious minority students is hereby revoked.

2. "Mandates regarding LGBT, racial, and religious minority students" shall be defined as mandates, legislative or otherwise, made by the Atlasian federal government that orders schools to protect the interests and rights of students who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or any other legally recognized sexuality or gender identity, as well as students of a racial minority, including black, Latino, Asian, Native American, or another legally recognized non-Caucasian race, as well as students of a religious minority such as Islam, Judaism, Atheism, Buddhism, Hinduism, or another legally recognized non-Christian or Christian denominational faith.

3. This act does not apply to mandates set forth by the regions regarding the provisions outlined in Section 2, nor will it apply to funding provided by the regions.

4. Schools that do not provide adequate academic experiences for students outlined in Section 2, whether by denying access to a bathroom according to gender identity, time to pray in accordance with a student's religious beliefs, dietary accommodations in accordance with a student's religious or health needs, or any other religious, medical, or cultural standard, shall be subject to revocation of any federal funding they receive.

5. Accommodations for students shall not extend into unrealistic demands, which may include accommodations not outlined in this act, or any other federal mandate. Accommodations may not be made that give students outlined in Section 2 unfair advantages over other students.

6. Schools that have their federal funding stripped due to a perceived violation outlined in this act may appeal the decision and will be given one hundred eighty (180) days or six (6) months to provide evidence that they are complying with this act. In the event that they are able to prove that they are complying with this act, their funding shall be restored.

7. This act will take effect immediately upon passage.
