Evidence

Congress.gov describes H.R. 881 as a bill that restricts DHS funding to institutions of higher education with relationships to Confucius Institutes; the bill has not become law.

This is a concrete legislative attempt related to the anti-Confucius funding promise, but it is narrower than the stated education-funding pledge and remains un-enacted, so the promise is still unresolved.

never same_term A for effort

Kevin Hern supported a related anti-Confucius funding bill, but the cited legislation did not become law and it was narrower than the promise to prohibit federal education funding for schools hosting Confucius Classrooms. That is a serious attempt, but not a delivered outcome.

partial same_term

Kevin Hern took a concrete same-term step by voting for H.R. 881, a related anti-Confucius funding restriction bill. But the bill was narrower than the promise, targeting DHS funding and Confucius Institute relationships rather than broadly prohibiting federal education funding for schools hosting Confucius Classrooms, and it did not become law. Because the promised outcome was not delivered and Hern's documented contribution here is supportive but limited, this merits partial rather than full credit.
