The Spin

America's students deserve education that celebrates the exceptional principles and achievements that built this great nation. Schools have been infected with divisive ideologies that teach children to be ashamed of their country rather than proud of its founding ideals and remarkable progress toward equality. This patriotic education initiative will restore proper civic knowledge and inspire the next generation to understand America's unique role in advancing liberty and justice throughout history.

The American Mind

This administration is weaponizing education funding to push a sanitized version of American history that ignores systemic injustices and difficult truths. By partnering exclusively with conservative groups and political allies like Turning Point USA and the Heritage Foundation, the government risks transforming classrooms into propaganda platforms that present a selective narrative designed to serve partisan political goals rather than comprehensive historical understanding.
