House File 222 would reduce funding for public schools each day the New York Times Magazine’s 1619 Project was used as part of a history class’ curriculum. The bill is similar to other pieces of legislation introduced in Mississippi and Arkansas. Republican Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) also introduced a federal version of the bill as well.
