Most Americans assume our nation’s public schools exist to educate children in truth, fairness, and respect. Parents and grandparents trust that classrooms will not be used to spread hatred or political agendas — especially those funded by foreign governments.

Sadly, that trust is being violated.

Foreign nations hostile to Israel, including Qatar, have spent millions of dollars to influence what American children are taught in K–12 public schools. These funds are being used to introduce deeply biased, anti-Israel material that distorts history and encourages hostility toward the Jewish people.

Reports show that Qatar-funded programs in U.S. schools have erased Israel from maps, portrayed terrorists as heroes, and presented Jerusalem as something other than the eternal capital of the Jewish people. Even more troubling, this foreign money is often hidden from parents and taxpayers.

Right now, federal law does NOT require public K-12 schools to disclose foreign donations.

That is why the Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act (S. 2509) is so important. This commonsense bill has already passed the House of Representatives. If passed by the Senate, it would require schools to report financial contributions from foreign governments — bringing much-needed sunlight and accountability.

This is not a partisan issue. It is about protecting children, preserving truth, and standing firmly with Israel.

Please take action today! Select here to fax Congress and urge them to VOTE YES on S. 2509.

Christians in Defense of Israel is working every day to educate lawmakers, mobilize concerned citizens, and defend Israel against growing hostility here at home. But this work depends on faithful supporters like you.

Will you also help strengthen our voice?
