Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 28A Common School Provisions - Section 28A.300.115 Holocaust instruction -- Preparation and availability of instructional materials

§ 28A.300.115. Holocaust instruction -- Preparation and availability of instructional materials

(1) Every public high school is encouraged to include in its curriculum instruction on the events of the period in modern world history known as the Holocaust, during which six million Jews and millions of non-Jews were exterminated. The instruction may also include other examples from both ancient and modern history where subcultures or large human populations have been eradicated by the acts of humankind. The studying of this material is a reaffirmation of the commitment of free peoples never again to permit such occurrences.

(2) The superintendent of public instruction may prepare and make available to all school districts instructional materials for use as guidelines for instruction under this section.
