The Department of Education announced it has partnered with dozens of conservative groups, including Turning Point USA, to promote patriotic civics lessons in schools.

The department called the America 250 Civics Education Coalition a “landmark initiative” dedicated to “renewing patriotism, strengthening civic knowledge, and advancing a shared understanding of America’s founding principles in schools across the nation.”

According to the department, the initiative will be led by the America First Policy Institute, a group closely aligned with conservative causes and President Donald Trump. The institute has advocated reducing the department’s role while expanding school vouchers.

It has also opposed state policies that allow transgender females to compete against girls in sports.
