Includes the attacks on September 11, 2001 in courses of instruction in patriotism and citizenship
This bill amends New York State education laws to require that schools include the September 11, 2001 attacks in their courses on patriotism and citizenship. It mandates that all students over the age of eight receive instruction on specific historical topics, including genocide, slavery, the Holocaust, and the Irish potato famine, alongside lessons on religious tolerance and human rights. The state's education commissioner is given the authority to withhold funding from school districts that fail to provide this instruction or enforce attendance rules.
