Prohibiting Federal Funds for Schools Promoting Race-Based Theories

This act aims to stop federal funding for schools that promote specific race-based theories or compel students and teachers to affirm them. This means educational institutions teaching about racial superiority or that the U.S. is fundamentally racist will lose access to federal funds. The goal is to ensure education does not promote discriminatory views.
Key points
Elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions may lose federal funds if they promote race-based theories or compel their affirmation.
Prohibited theories include claims of inherent racial superiority/inferiority, the U.S. or its Constitution being fundamentally racist, and individual responsibility for actions of other race members.
The act does not restrict free speech outside school, access to materials for research, or discussing these theories in an educational context if the school does not endorse them.
