More than 40 conservative national and state-based organizations have partnered with the U.S. Department of Education to roll out new civics programs, as part of the lead-up to America’s 250th birthday, next year.

“A country cannot survive if its values are forgotten by its people,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in a public statement.  

The effort, named the America 250 Civics Education Coalition, will be run by the Education Department in partnership with the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a conservative nonprofit. 

“More than ever, we need to restore the vitality of the American spirit, and this coalition will take bold steps to educate, inspire, and mobilize youth toward active and informed citizenship,” McMahon said. 

Turning Point USA, the Heritage Foundation, Hillsdale College, and several other state and national organizations are a part of the effort. The department said this initiative is all about “renewing patriotism, strengthening civic knowledge, and helping students better understand America’s founding principles.”

While further details surrounding plans remain vague, the statement confirmed the coalition will unveil a “robust” programming agenda that includes a 50-state speaking tour over 12 months and visits to college campuses around the country.

As NPR has noted, the federal government is prohibited by law from "any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum" in schools.

Earlier this year, the administration announced that it would end “racial indoctrination” in K-12 schools through the revival of the 1776 Commission. The “commission” can be comprised of no more than 20 hand-selected members.
