New Senate Bill Would Require Schools To Teach About The Holocaust

Pennsylvania State Senator Anthony Williams (D-Philadelphia) has introduced a bill that would require all Pennsylvania school districts to teach students in grades 6-12 about the Holocaust. The Bill would also require schools to teach about genocide, human rights violations, anti-Semitism, racism, and the abridgement of civil rights.

Senator Williams said if today’s youth is not educated about this event, it could pave the way for something similar to happen in the future.

There is nothing wrong with this, as long as they make sure to discuss racism and human rights violations across the board and not just the ones committed by white people.

We actually did learn about the Holocaust when I was in school.
