Two House Republicans have introduced a bill that would pull federal funds out of public schools incorporating The New York Times’ controversial “1619 Project” as a part of their history curricula.

The bill, called the Saving American History Act, was put forward by Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Rick Allen (R-Ga.) as a companion legislation to the one introduced in the Senate by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in July.
