The Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act, otherwise known as the \u201cTRACE Act,\u201d solidifies the rights of parents to know how foreign funding is impacting their child\u2019s classroom and adds a layer of deterrence to keep foreign nations from reaching America\u2019s youth.\n\nUpon passage of the TRACE Act, Congressman Bean said: \u201cAmerican schools are for education, not espionage. Yet this is what happens when our institutions of learning accept the Trojan horse of foreign funding. The TRACE Act puts parents back in charge, exposes foreign influence for what it is, and slams the door on hostile nations trying to reach America\u2019s youth. Now it\u2019s up to the Senate to pass the TRACE Act to solidify parents' rights, defend our classrooms, and keep our schools rooted in freedom.\"\n\nBACKGROUND\n\nThe TRACE Act will:\n\nRequire schools to allow parents the opportunity to review any curriculum that has been provided by or purchased with foreign funds.\n\nRequire that schools notify parents of any foreign contracts or financial transactions they partake in.\n\nStipulate that parents be notified of how many school employees, if any, are being compensated by another country or foreign adversary and whether foreign nations have donated to the institution.\n\nRead exclusive coverage in Fox News HERE.\n\nWatch Congressman Bean\u2019s remarks during the House floor debate HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bean.house.gov/media/press-releases/bean-bill-protect-k-12-schools-foreign-adversaries-passes-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6068876720964909, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
