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.
