Requiring holocaust and genocide studies in public schools to include the impacts on people with disabilities.
This bill, HB398, proposes to mandate that public schools include the impacts of the Holocaust and genocide on people with disabilities in their studies. This would ensure that students learn about the full scope of these tragic events, including how people with disabilities were affected.
This bill would affect students, teachers, and school administrators in public schools. By incorporating the experiences of people with disabilities, the education would become more comprehensive and inclusive, helping students understand the broader human impact of these events.
As of January 10, 2025, the bill was introduced and referred to the Education Policy and Administration committee. On March 10, the committee reported that it was inexpedient to legislate, and on March 20, the House adopted a motion to not proceed with the bill. This means the bill has not advanced further in the legislative process.
