WASHINGTON — The National Center for Youth Law is among more than 30 organizations calling on the U.S. Department of Education to withdraw its “Promoting Patriotic Education” proposal and to reaffirm the Department’s commitment to a meaningful and inclusive public education system. The dangerous proposal from the Department seeks to “promote patriotic education,” based on the Trump-Vance administration’s political prescriptive and revisionist definitions. 

A total of 34 organizations focused on education and civil rights signed onto a comment letter that opposes the policy and was submitted to the Department on Oct. 17.
