""patriotic education" refers to "a presentation of the history of America grounded in an accurate, honest, unifying, inspiring, and ennobling characterization of the American founding and foundational principles"; examines "how the United States has admirably grown closer to its noble principles throughout its history"; and advances the "concept that commitment to America's aspirations is beneficial and justified.""
""It is imperative to promote an education system that teaches future generations honestly about America's Founding principles, political institutions, and rich history,""
""To truly understand American values, the tireless work it has taken to live up to them, and this country's exceptional place in world history is the best way to inspire an informed patriotism and love of country.""
The U.S. Department of Education proposed adding "patriotic education" to the list of priorities guiding discretionary grant decisions, including those supporting colleges and universities. The proposal defines patriotic education as an accurate, honest, unifying, inspiring, and ennobling presentation of America's founding and foundational principles, emphasizes how the nation has grown closer to those principles, and advances commitment to America's aspirations. The proposal would focus grant funds on programs that cultivate citizen competency, informed patriotism, and communication of the American political tradition to students at all levels. The proposal is open for public comment until Oct. 17. Other listed priorities include evidence-based literacy, school choice, returning education to states, and advancing AI in education.
