HRES 978 United States House · 118th Congress

Encouraging all schools in the United States to teach students digital literacy and history related to the Holocaust, World War II, and antisemitism.

HRES 978 is a non-binding resolution encouraging all U.S. schools (K-12 and colleges) to integrate digital literacy education with age-appropriate lessons on Holocaust history, World War II, and antisemitism. It specifically urges schools to teach Jewish identity, primary-source-based Holocaust history (including antisemitism's historical roots), and critical thinking skills for navigating digital information. The resolution also recommends federal funding for teacher training to support these educational efforts. While not requiring legal changes, it aims to promote historical understanding and digital literacy as tools for preventing hatred and fostering inclusive citizenship. Introduced January 25, 2024, by Representatives Khanna and Fitzpatrick.
