U.S. taxpayer dollars shouldn't be funding Confucius Institutes & other Chinese Communist Party affiliated propaganda on American college campuses. Proud to support @RepPfluger's bill to ensure Department of Homeland Security funding does not support these programs.

I just voted along with a bipartisan majority of the House to block DHS funding from any educational institution that allows Confucius Institutes, an offshoot of the Chinese Communist Party, to operate on its campus. We don't need CCP propaganda anywhere near our schools.
