Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) has introduced a new bill aiming to keep the influence of China’s communist regime out of K–12 schools and higher education institutions.

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is working to undermine and challenge the US—not just internationally, but on our own soil. They are creeping into our education system at the university and K-12 levels to destabilize, misinform, hack, steal, and propagandize,” Mr. Lankford said in a Sept. 5 statement about his legislation.
