House Republicans said on Dec. 3 that they will pass several bills this week aimed at blocking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence in K–12 schools and ensuring federal funding goes only to institutions that uphold the democratic values of the United States.

Some of the legislation seeks to ban K–12 public schools from accepting funds or entering into contracts with CCP-linked entities.
