China has reportedly provided $17 million in funding to American public schools, raising concerns among Republicans. According to a report by Parents Defending Education, there has been close coordination between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and U.S. schools, resulting in the establishment of Confucius Classrooms across 143 school districts in 34 states and Washington, D.C. Currently, there are still active contracts in Texas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington.
