Prohibiting Federal Funds for Schools Promoting Race-Based Theories

This bill aims to stop federal funding for schools that promote specific race-based theories. This means educational institutions, from elementary schools to universities, could lose financial support if their curricula or activities are deemed to promote discriminatory racial views. The goal is to ensure that education does not compel students and teachers to affirm beliefs that violate principles of equality.
Key points
Elementary, secondary schools, and higher education institutions may lose federal funds if they promote certain race-based theories.
Prohibited theories include beliefs about racial superiority, the U.S. being fundamentally racist, or individual responsibility for actions of other racial group members.
The act does not restrict free speech outside school settings or access to materials for research.
Schools can discuss prohibited theories for educational purposes, provided they clearly state they do not endorse them.
