STATEMENT: PDE Action Supports Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act

March 12, 2024

Whether it involves China’s attempt to infiltrate K-12 classrooms or harvest children’s data via TikTok, the Chinese Communist Party should not be granted unfettered access to influence the minds of the next generation of Americans.

Parents share this grave concern. A recent poll showed an overwhelming majority of parents worry about the risks of foreign influence targeting their children.

Leaders at every level of government have a moral responsibility to protect students from this dangerous security threat. We are encouraged by the strong, bipartisan committee vote last week in support of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, and encourage members to vote for this pro-America, pro-student measure when it comes to the House floor later this week.
