Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to restore access to educational materials that have been removed from schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). DoDEA operates schools for military-connected children both domestically and overseas. The legislation mandates that any curricula, books, and other learning materials that were previously available but have been removed must be made accessible again to students and educators. The bill appears to respond to concerns about the removal of certain educational content from military-operated schools and seeks to ensure that students have access to a full range of learning materials.
