American schools that coordinate with the Chinese Ministry of Education should end their agreements because they are trying to teach a warped version of history that benefits the government, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., warned Monday.

Rubio asked several schools in his state to shutter the Confucius Institute, a cultural program he identified as one of China’s “foreign influence operations” against the United States. The program operates at an array of universities and secondary schools, despite warnings from academic associations and the U.S. intelligence community.
