The FALCONS Act would prohibit the five federal service academies—the Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy—from using federal funds to teach curriculum or provide training based on critical race theory, diversity, equity, and inclusion. The legislation directly affects current and future military officers trained at these institutions, as well as the academies themselves in how they structure their educational programs. The bill contains no new funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond the immediate prohibition on such federally funded activities. Introduced in June 2025, the measure was referred to the House Armed Services Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for consideration.
