Limiting Federal Funds for Schools Promoting Race-Based Theories.
This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal funds for elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions that promote specific race-based theories or compel students and teachers to affirm these beliefs. Citizens should be aware that schools violating these rules will lose access to federal funding, potentially impacting their budgets and curricula. The Act defines what constitutes a prohibited race-based theory, including claims of inherent racial superiority or inferiority, or that the United States is fundamentally racist.
Key points
Elementary, secondary schools, and higher education institutions will lose federal funds if they promote or compel adherence to specific race-based theories (e.g., that the US is fundamentally racist or that moral worth is determined by race).
The Act defines 'promote' as including prohibited theories in curricula, hiring consultants to advocate them, or compelling students to profess belief in them.
The law does not restrict the free speech of students and teachers outside of a school setting or access to materials for research or independent study.
Schools may discuss prohibited theories for educational purposes, provided they make it clear that the school does not sponsor or endorse those theories.
