Section 111(b) of Division J, Title I, Public Law 108‑447, as published on December 8, 2004, also known as the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005...the optimal phrasing states that "Each educational institution that receives Federal funds for a fiscal year shall hold an educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of such year for the students served by the educational institution."

Executive Order 14190, of January 29, 2025, titled "Ending Radical Indoctrination in K‑12 Schooling" states under "Additional Patriotic Education Measures" (Section 5) that “All relevant agencies shall monitor compliance with section 111(b) of title I of Division J of Public Law 108‑447 … including by verifying compliance with each educational institution that receives Federal funds. All relevant agencies shall take action, as appropriate, to enhance compliance with that law.”

Sec. 5 . Additional Patriotic Education Measures. (a) All relevant agencies shall monitor compliance with section 111(b) of title I of Division J of Public Law 108-447, which provides that “[e]ach educational institution that receives Federal funds for a fiscal year shall hold an educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of such year for the students served by the educational institution,” including by verifying compliance with each educational institution that receives Federal funds. All relevant agencies shall take action, as appropriate, to enhance compliance with that law.
 
PS...despite the EO title this applies to colleges and universities as well as K-12 Schools.
 
Mao launched his "cultural revolution" which included re-education camps back in the 1960s

I guess Trump's "cultural revolution" includes "re-education" in the classroom and not internment camps...so far
 
The current administration is actively (while lying about it) working to replace The Constitution with Project 2025. Project 2025 is exactly why we need to promote, honestly, the actual Constitution.
 
Red meat for the base, but doesn't really do too much if you aren't mandating the curriculum at a federal level. The locals will decide what to emphasize. Red districts will focus on the 2nd amendment and the enumeration of powers. Blue districts will focus on the 13th, 14th and 19th amendments and, at least while Trump is in charge, the proper role of the different branches of governments.

That was my reaction, too. Why are they demanding attention to a set of rules they are actively destroying?

Some think it might be so as to simultaneously mandate and intimidate, i.e., crush academic freedom and force untruths to be taught.

If you refuse to toe the line there would be punishment.
 
"End Radical Indoctrination" = return to teaching history via 1950s history textbooks. Robert E. Lee was a great man and the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Slavery really wasn't so bad and most blacks liked it. Native Americans weren't violently forced off their lands via the government repeatedly breaking treaties with them, and they had it coming anyway. Immigrants are only good if they come from Northern and Western European countries and quickly assimilate into white middle-class culture. Schoolkids should be required to say mandatory Christian prayers in school every morning whether they like it or not. White people do everything better. Women are best suited for having babies and raising them at home, subordinate to their husbands. And so on.
 
Each year, UNC School of Law organizes the campus-wide Constitution Day celebration to commemorate September 17, the day on which the Constitution of the United States was signed. Constitution Day allows schools and colleges across the country to reflect on United States history, the deeper meanings within the Constitution and the hopes it represents for the future.

The Law School will celebrate the federal observance this year on September 17 with a presentation by Associate Professor of Law Marcus Gadson exploring themes from his book Sedition: How America's Constitutional Order Emerged from Violent Crisis in Room 5048 at 12:00 p.m. The talk will examine how moments of constitutional crisis shaped the framework of American constitutionalism, tracing episodes when dissent and disorder threatened to destabilize the young republic and how leaders responded—sometimes repressively, sometimes with reform—in ways that forged the institutions and norms we now take for granted.



This will be a free and open-to-the-public event recorded by C-SPAN. Lunch will be provided.
