USA Civics Act of 2024
This bill amends the Higher Education Act to establish a new "American Civics Education Program" that provides competitive grants to colleges and universities. It requires funded programs to focus on four key areas: American political thought and history, free institutions, the global impact of U.S. representative democracy, and how citizens participate in civic life. Grants must support teacher training for K-12 educators, develop academic programs/centers, create open educational resources, and share materials with schools and communities. The bill explicitly prohibits the government from mandating a specific curriculum.
