| Next week, U.S. Rep. Aaron Bean will lead a hearing titled “Academic Freedom Under Attack: Loosening the CCP’s Grip on America’s Classrooms.” Bean chairs the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, which will hold the meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 19, at 10:15 a.m. in Room 2175 of the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. Aaron Bean will workshop ways to keep China out of American education. “From pushing propaganda and conducting espionage to undermining American education and indoctrinating students, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging a new era of war in our classrooms. A shocking report from Parents Defending Education revealed that 143 K-12 schools across the country — in 34 states — have been compromised by the CCP,” Bean said in a statement. “This hearing will assist in informing the Committee’s efforts to keep our adversaries at bay and protect our students, schools, and curriculum.” The hearing is open to the press and will be livestreamed on the Committee’s YouTube page. |
