The State of Rhode Island has previously enacted legislation mandating Holocaust and genocide education in secondary public education and established a commission to oversee its implementation. The Rhode Island House of Representatives annually passes resolutions to remember the Holocaust and other genocides, emphasizing the importance of the principle "Never Again." The resolution acknowledges the necessity of educating young people about the atrocities committed against individuals based on their beliefs, heritage, or physical condition, with the goal of preventing future acts of brutality and hatred.

The resolution officially designates April as "Holocaust & Genocide Awareness Month" in Rhode Island. It calls on history and social science educators to integrate lessons on historical and ongoing genocides into their curricula and classroom discussions. This initiative aims to cultivate a generation committed to combating bigotry, prejudice, and injustice. The resolution also instructs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to the Commissioner of the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Rhode Island Holocaust and Genocide Education Commission.
