The Bill 118 hr 287, also known as the CRT Transparency Act, aims to increase transparency and accountability in the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in federally funded programs. The bill requires any entity receiving federal funds to disclose whether they are using CRT in their programs, and to provide detailed information on how CRT is being implemented.
Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Education to create a publicly accessible database that lists all entities receiving federal funds and their CRT usage disclosures. This database will allow the public to easily see which organizations are using CRT and how it is being used.
The CRT Transparency Act also includes provisions for reporting and enforcement, with penalties for entities that fail to disclose their CRT usage or provide inaccurate information. This is intended to ensure that organizations are held accountable for their use of CRT and to prevent misuse of federal funds.
Overall, the CRT Transparency Act seeks to promote transparency and accountability in the use of CRT in federally funded programs, and to provide the public with information on how CRT is being implemented in these programs.
