The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6793, aims to amend section 10-16b of the general statutes to include Arabic and Muslim studies as an elective course within the social studies curriculum for high school students. This addition seeks to enhance the educational offerings available to students by providing them with the opportunity to learn about Arabic culture and Muslim history, thereby promoting diversity and inclusion in the curriculum. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new elective. The intent behind this legislation is to broaden the scope of social studies education and to ensure that students have access to a more comprehensive understanding of different cultures and perspectives.
