HRES 894 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' view that strong public education in U.S. history and civics is vital for preserving the nation's founding ideals ahead of the 2026 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It encourages states and schools to provide age-appropriate instruction on the American Revolution, Constitution, and key figures like George Washington, while promoting voluntary partnerships between schools, museums, and historic sites. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but emphasizes the importance of teaching core principles like liberty, equality, and civic responsibility. It specifically references the 2026 anniversary as a moment to strengthen public understanding of U.S. history and citizenship. This is a symbolic statement, not a policy with enforceable requirements.
