Every Student is a Citizen Act
This bill, titled the Every Student is a Citizen Act, amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to increase funding and expand programs focused on American history and civics education. It authorizes $40 million annually for these activities and adds specific provisions to existing education programs.

It also supports travel to government and historical sites, voter registration efforts, and respectful debate skills across diverse student groups.
