Resolve providing for a special commission to examine anti-slavery education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
This bill establishes a special commission to study how Massachusetts public schools teach about the history of slavery and racism. The commission will examine current curriculum practices and recommend changes, including requiring all middle and high school districts to add a unit on slavery history using the state's existing curriculum framework. The commission must include educators, lawmakers, and legal experts, and will submit its report with recommendations by November 30, 2025. This is a procedural measure to guide future curriculum decisions, not an immediate law change.
