Kate Bierly’s Testimony before the Senate Committee on Education on Foreign Influence in K-12 Classrooms.
Kate Bierly explains how Texas has taken steps to protect its universities from foreign influence, but those protections stop at the college gate and do not apply to K – 12 schools.
She details the need for transparency and accountability measures in Texas classrooms and includes examples of foreign influence through curriculum, direct funding, and the role it plays in training Texas public school teachers.
