Prohibit federal funds for teaching the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory

Tillis supports the Saving American History Act, which would bar K–12 schools and school districts from using federal funds to teach the 1619 Project or Critical Race Theory. The bill exempts federal funds intended for low-income students or students with special needs. Tillis says students should receive a rigorous understanding of U.S. history and civics.

Context: The page describes this as proposed legislation that Tillis helped introduce, not enacted law.

In their own words

I do not support diverting taxpayer resources towards promoting ideological and misleading depictions of our nation’s history
