HB2779 amends Arizona Revised Statutes regarding school curricula to increase the instructional requirements for teaching about the Holocaust and other genocides. The current law requires that students be taught about these subjects at least twice between grades 7 and 12. The new bill language specifies that students must be taught about the Holocaust and other genocides for at least three class periods, or the equivalent, on at least two separate occasions during any of the grades from 7 through 12. This change intensifies the focus on Holocaust and genocide education within the state's educational framework.
