The US DOE has released the details of its Patriotic Education Program. States have a choice to opt in, but they're basically dangling the grant money like a carrot on a stick. Teach history our way, or else.

There is a comment period open until October 17th. So please lend your voice against extreme RW ideology creeping into our public schools.|
Accessing the comment portal has a few steps and a long link, so here's a FB post from Mrs. Frazzled that lays it out with some screenshots to help.
