No Federal Funding for Teacher's Unions Act

This bill prohibits labor organizations of education professionals from receiving federal funds.

Bill 118 hr 174, also known as the No Federal Funding for Teacher's Unions Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to prohibit any federal funding from being allocated to teacher's unions.

Overall, Bill 118 hr 174 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about the role of teacher's unions in the education system and the best way to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education. It remains to be seen whether the bill will ultimately be passed into law.
