Requires particular topics to be included in history curriculum in grades seven to twelve

This bill mandates that history curricula for grades seven through twelve in public schools include specific lessons on Native American and African American history. It requires educators to cover topics such as pre-Columbian Native civilizations, the impact of European colonization, the Trail of Tears, and the history of slavery in the United States. The legislation also specifies that state education agencies cannot force districts to use certain Common Core appendices while reserving curriculum approval authority to local school boards.
