An Iowa measure to ban public schools from using a project that teaches about slavery won subcommittee approval Tuesday, making it eligible for consideration by the state s House Education Committee. The bill, House File 222, sponsored by Rep. Skyler Wheeler, R-Orange City, would ban schools, colleges and regents institutions from incorporating the 1619 Project or any similarly developed curriculum in U.S history classes and would take away state aid from institutions that use it. The 1619 Project, published in 2019, aims to reframe the way slavery and the contributions of Black Americans are presented.  The Iowa measure is similar to measures that have been introduced in Arkansas,  Mississippi and other states. Backers in each argue the project misrepresents U.S history. On Tuesday, just as an Iowa panel was passing the measure, an Arkansas panel was rejecting it there.
