Parents offered new guide to Trump’s EOs and how they affect their kids: ‘back in the driver’s seat’

President Donald Trump has been busy since his return to the Oval Office in January, issuing a total of 73 executive orders. Among these orders are at least six that directly impact parents and their children, according to a parental rights group that recently released a parent’s guide to navigating these executive orders.

The American Parents Coalition, established in 2024 to advocate for public policy favorable toward parental rights, has developed a “lookout” parental notification system. This system serves as a guide for parents to navigate the executive orders, offering tips on how to keep up with the rapid pace of the Trump administration’s actions and how to engage with Congress and state legislatures.

One of the key executive orders signed by President Trump is the “No Men in Women’s Sports” order, which bans transgender female athletes from competing in women’s or girls’ sporting events. This order aims to protect the integrity of women’s sports and ensure fair competition.

Another significant executive order focuses on protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation. This order ensures that parents, not activists, have the final say in medical decisions for their children and prevents irreversible procedures until the child reaches adulthood. It aims to safeguard children from interventions related to gender transition.

President Trump’s executive orders related to transgender issues and children were part of his campaign promises, where he vowed to ban biological males from women’s sports and prohibit gender surgery procedures for minors.

In addition to orders directly impacting children and parents, President Trump also signed an executive order that aims to end the weaponization of the federal government. This order prevents agencies from targeting individuals based on their political beliefs and allows parents to advocate for their children’s education and rights without fear of government retaliation.

The American Parents Coalition’s “lookout” system provides detailed explanations of each executive order and what it means for parents. It covers a range of topics, including ending radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling, expanding educational freedom for families, protecting women from gender ideology extremism, and restoring biological truth at the federal level.

Overall, President Trump’s executive orders have empowered parents to make decisions regarding the well-being of their children and have put them back in the driver’s seat. The parental notification system developed by the American Parents Coalition serves as a valuable resource for parents navigating these changes and staying informed about future developments at the federal, state, and congressional levels.
