A huge win for parents today! The TRACE Act puts families back in the driver’s seat and brings long-overdue transparency to the foreign funding in our schools.

WIN FOR PARENTS! PDE Action applauds the House passage of the TRACE Act — legislation we were proud to endorse. This is a strong step toward empowering families, increasing transparency, and protecting America's students from harmful foreign influence.

AI is becoming a ubiquitous tool in schools. That’s why there needs to be safeguards in place for protecting students’ data and reinforcing parental rights under FERPA. Thank you, @SenBillCassidy, for introducing this bill.

Full press release from Senator Cassidy's office here:

"We must ensure that as Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into schools nationwide, students' privacy remains protected. That's precisely what Chairman Cassidy’s LIFE Act accomplishes—& why PDE Action fully supports it. " @amigoaguilar

STATEMENT: PDE Action Supports Clean Funding Bill to End Government Shutdown - PDE Action

"It's sad that the employees that are leading the necessary effort to dismantle the Department of Education & continue to perform the limited education related duties of the federal government are not being paid due to the latest political gamesmanship of the Democrats."

"Thankfully, because schools are run at the local level, the shutdown is not having an impact on the education of our children."

"There's absolutely no reason for Democrats to shutdown the government. They supported numerous clean CRs during the Biden administration. Why can’t they vote for another now? It’s pretty obvious that they are acting based exclusively on political calculations." @amigoaguilar

My latest OpED in @realDailyWire: “If we do not act swiftly to take back our schools from the clutches of ideological zealots, our great experiment in freedom and democracy will not endure.”

Thank you, @SarahPPerry, for your support of the Chloe Cole Act! You are absolutely right - these egregious practices must end and I’m grateful to have you and @DefendingEd by my side in this critical fight to protect children.

Happy to support @RepBobOnder’s essential legislation - the Chloe Cole Act - which will protect our children from predatory “gender medicine” practices and allow them a chance to recover from any harm inflicted. Protecting our kids is not a partisan issue. Thank you Congressman

.@RepMaryMiller is leading the fight to enshrine parental rights as fundamental. @ActionPDE is proud to back this amendment, which ensures that parents — not the state — are the ultimate authority in their child’s life.

.@RepMaryMiller's bill would clarify the definition of sex under Title IX as biologically male or female. @ActionPde is backing the effort to restore Title IX’s original purpose to protect female-only sports, privacy, and opportunities.

@RepMaryMiller’s bill, supported by @ActionPDE, would put parents back in the driver’s seat when it comes to their children’s wellbeing.

.@SenTedCruz’s “TRACE Act is extremely necessary. Parents should know if a foreign govt or entity is providing funding to their children’s schools, trying to influence what is taught to them or seeking to access important data...” And that’s why @ActionPde supports it.

Parents Defending Education Action is proud to support the 2025 Stopping Teachers Unions from Damaging Education Needs Today (STUDENT) Act.
