The US Department of Education partnered with over 40 conservative organizations to create civics programs celebrating the nation's 250th anniversary. The "America 250 Civics Education Coalition," led by the America First Policy Institute, aims to renew patriotism and civic knowledge in schools nationwide. Planned initiatives include a 50-state campus speaking tour and a college speaker series. This comes as the Trump administration seeks to decentralize education, despite legal limitations on federal curriculum control. The department will also grant funds for unbiased civic education.
