A group of seven Republican House members from New York are urging Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) to investigate a report that found that the Chinese Communist Party had funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to New York schools.
Led by Rep. Brandon Williams , the group of lawmakers urged Hochul to investigate a report from Parents Defending Education that showed 12 New York school districts and the New York Department of Education received nearly $400,000 from the Chinese Communist Party. Along with Williams, the letter was signed by Reps. Elise Stefanik , Nicole Malliotakis , Claudia Tenney , Mike Lawler , Anthony D'Esposito , and Marc Molinaro .
The lawmakers asked Hochul to direct the New York Department of Education to tighten reporting requirements for foreign funding in schools, require K-12 schools to release an annual report of any foreign funds, and investigate any partnerships or ties to the Chinese Communist Party or military that a school may have.
