Expressing support for the month of September as "Founding Fathers' Month".
This non-binding House resolution designates September as "Founding Fathers' Month" to honor the historical contributions of figures like Washington and Jefferson. It addresses concerns about declining civic knowledge by encouraging Americans to reflect on the Founding Fathers' role in establishing U.S. democracy, particularly during the Constitution's September 1787 signing. The resolution urges schools, organizations, and the Department of Education to promote educational efforts about founding principles and civic engagement, without creating new laws or funding.
