РусскийCalifornia State Senate to fund teacher training for the Armenian Genocide
The California State Senate has decided to allocate $16 million to fund the History-Social Science curriculum framework, which includes teacher training for the Armenian Genocide and other important historical updates, reported Asbarez, Senator Anthony Portantino announced.
“Historical accounts of the Armenian Genocide are a tragic and important part of world history that continues to face denial and organized opposition. To have it taught in our schools is appropriate and critical,” Portantino said.
Last year, the California State Board of Education (“CSBE”) adopted a new History-Social Science curriculum framework with guidelines for public school teachers. This framework provides significant improvements and expanded language and scope of information regarding the Armenian Genocide.
