FALCONS Act

HR 3765, the FALCONS Act, prohibits federal funding for curricula or training at five U.S. service academies based on critical race theory, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The bill directly affects the U.S. Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy by banning the use of federal funds for such educational content. Its key mechanism is a funding restriction, preventing the use of federal money to develop or implement programs related to these concepts at the specified institutions. The law focuses solely on restricting federal funding for specific educational approaches, without altering academy admissions or academic standards.
