Bill > HRes894

This resolution affirms the critical importance of robust history and civics education in preserving the United States' founding principles as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026. The resolution reaffirms that strong educational programs in U.S. history and civics are essential for teaching students about the country's core ideals of liberty, equality, and self-government, and for preparing future generations to understand and uphold these principles. It encourages states, territories, tribes, and local educational agencies to provide fact-based instruction about the American Revolution, key founding documents like the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and influential leaders such as George Washington. The resolution supports voluntary partnerships between schools, museums, libraries, historic sites, and educational organizations to help students comprehend the nation's founding and institutional frameworks. Additionally, it recognizes and supports the work of educators, historians, and professionals who develop educational materials that help students learn about the nation's founding principles, challenges, and citizenship responsibilities. The ultimate goal is to inspire citizens, especially young people, to study the examples of founding leaders and ordinary individuals who secured independence, and to embody American ideals of duty, integrity, public service, and prioritizing the collective good over individual interests.
