The Empowerment and Protection of Students Act
To strip federal funding from schools that do not comply with mandates regarding Minority and special needs students. Based on the "Protecting our Students Act" passed in the Southern region.

1. Federal and Regional funding for schools that do not comply with mandates regarding students belonging to a minority group, being composed of race, gender, or religious difference, is hereby revoked.

2. Mandates regarding students belonging to a minority group, being composed of race, gender, or religious difference" shall be defined as mandates, legislative or otherwise, made by the Lincoln Regional government that orders schools to protect the interests and rights of students who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender. This also applies to racial minorities, including African Atlasians, Latinos, Native Atlasians, or any other legally recognized non-Caucasian race. Finally, this also applies to belonging to Religious minorities, such as Islam, Judaism, Atheism, Buddhism, Hinduism, or another legally recognized non-Christian or Christian denominational faith.

3. Schools that would violate these propositions that would increase the wellbeing for minority students as 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 or medical 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.

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

5. 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.

6. This act will take effect immediately upon passage.

Huh, you know, I'd expect some sort of debate, at least a comment on this. But so far, nothing.

Edit: now that there's discussion, does anyone other than myself want to sponsor this bill?

I don't really see any major problems with this, section 3 could be a tad controversial but eh

I am massively in favor of the act, and feel that it would be massive positive to our minority groups in the region.

I am predisposed to support this, but I think there should be a more rigorously set system for defining which schools would be in violation of the mandates. Revoking funding is a serious and complicated prospect.

You know, now that I'm thinking about this, there should probably be some kind of required education aspect about this so kids don't just assume they have their own privileges to, let's say, go in the opposite sex's bathroom without any of the things this bill covers.

Aye. (Vote not really needed, but just showing for the record)

The bill passes, and will go to the governor.

I'll be sending this to the Governors Office to sign, as I couldn't find any record of it being passed to Fmr Governor Wells to sign off.
