Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04), Chairman of the Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee, has introduced H.R. 8649, the Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education (TRACE) Act. This legislation aims to safeguard America’s K-12 schools from the aggressive and systematic threats posed by foreign adversaries.
The TRACE Act builds upon the Parents Bill of Rights Act by ensuring parents are informed about foreign funding influencing their child’s classroom. It also introduces measures to deter foreign nations from attempting to influence America’s youth.
