Relates to requirements for a course of instruction relating to the Holocaust and genocide

This bill requires all public elementary and high schools in New York State to include a mandatory unit on the Holocaust (1933-1945) in their curriculum, detailing the extermination of six million Jewish people and millions of others. It also mandates an additional unit studying other global genocides, including the Armenian Genocide, the Famine-Genocide in Ukraine, and recent atrocities in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Sudan. School boards must determine the minimum instructional time for these units but must cover the specified historical events and lessons. The bill aims to teach students about the dangers of hatred and genocide while reinforcing commitments to prevent future atrocities, with the education commissioner overseeing implementation.
