CHARLIE Act

Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

2026-05-07

This bill would restrict federal funding for American History and Civics education programs, preventing money from going to what the bill's sponsors consider "radical indoctrination" in schools. The legislation gives Congress the power to define which teaching materials and curricula are acceptable for federally-funded history and civics classes. Teachers and school districts receiving federal education funds would need to ensure their programs meet these standards or risk losing that money.
