'Back in the driver's seat': Parents offered new guide to Trump's executive orders and how they affect kids

"President Trump's Executive Orders have put parents back in the driver's seat," American Parents Coalition's Executive Director Alleigh Marré told Fox News Digital. "From rolling back President Biden's radical changes to Title IX that required schools to let boys play in girls sports, to protecting kids from harmful gender interventions, parents are already better positioned to make decisions regarding the well-being of their children than they were just a month ago."

The lookout works as a guide to parents navigating the executive orders, including offering tips on how parents can keep up with the breakneck pace of the Trump administration's executive orders, and working their way through Congress and at the state level. 

The American Parents Coalition was established in 2024 to advocate for public policy favorable toward parental rights. 

"In this Lookout, American Parents Coalition seeks to keep parents informed and provide tips to stay in the loop about future changes made by the Trump Administration, Congress, and state legislatures," Marré added in comment to Fox Digital. 

The six orders include: Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports; Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling; Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families; Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation; Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal; Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government. 

Trump's bevy of executive orders related to transgender issues and children were long previewed on the campaign trail, as the then-candidate vowed that he would ban biological males from women's sports and ban gender surgery procedures for children. 

"On Day One, I will revoke Joe Biden's cruel policies on so-called 'gender affirming care' - ridiculous - a process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children. Can you believe this?" Trump said in a campaign video in 2023 of his plan to "protect children from left-wing gender insanity." 

Outside of executive orders that directly address children and parents, Trump also signed an executive order that ends the weaponization of the federal government, including preventing agencies from targeting people based on their political beliefs. 

"Parents can advocate for their children's education and rights without fear of government retaliation for speaking out," the lookout explained of how the order impacts parents. "Some parents critical of far-Left educational policies such as teaching (critical race theory), transgender bathrooms and sport policies have been ridiculed and even investigated by the FBI. This order is a win for free speech and puts parents into the driver's seat of their children's lives."
