Summary
This bill would designate May 4, 2025 as a National Day of Reason and encourage Americans to uplift the central importance of reason, critical thought, the scientific method, and free inquiry. It would present findings that tie reason to scientific and medical progress, to defending the rule of law and separation of church and state, to countering disinformation and authoritarianism, and to addressing threats like climate change, and the measure would be symbolic and declaratory in nature.
