I mean, it's an act of power to restrict funding (which is why I didn't call it a ban)

Federal funding. States and districts are free to fund whatever they want.

"Federal funding" is a misnomer. All of the funding comes from the taxpayers, and they're the same taxpayers. So when the federal government takes your money and then says "you can only have it back if you do X" they are not actually funding something, they are imposing a fine for not doing it.
