The bill mandates instruction covering domestic communist movements in the U.S., atrocities under communist regimes abroad, comparisons between communism and democratic principles, historical threats of communism (including the Cultural Revolution), and communist policies in Cuba and Latin America. The Tennessee Department of Education must develop guidance for schools, potentially consulting victims of communism or relevant organizations.
