H.Res. 894
H.Res. 894 is a resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for strong teaching of U.S. history and civics in public schools, particularly as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. The resolution does not create new laws or funding, but rather states the House's belief that quality history and civics education is essential for preserving American founding ideals and preparing informed citizens. It encourages states and local school districts to provide fact-based instruction about the American Revolution, the Constitution, and key historical figures, while supporting voluntary partnerships between schools and museums, historic sites, libraries, and educational organizations. The resolution also recognizes the work of teachers, historians, and educational professionals who teach these subjects and calls on Americans, especially young people, to study founding principles and the sacrifices of those who secured independence.
