PEACE Act

The Protect Equality And Civics Education (PEACE) Act would prohibit the use of federal funds from the 2021 fiscal year to support history and civics curricula that include "divisive concepts." Specifically, the bill targets grant programs administered by the Department of Education, preventing those funds from being used for teaching materials or teacher training aligned with certain federal priorities proposed in April 2021. For citizens, this means that local schools receiving these specific federal grants would be restricted from using that money to implement lessons or counseling programs that the bill defines as promoting racial or sexual stereotyping or scapegoating.
