MA Senate Bill 365
Please support Massachusetts Senate bill 365 which will create a commission to study and provide changes and/or additions to our K-12 history curriculum. Our students need a “more complete” history which will help them understand themselves and also those of other racial/ethnic backgrounds better! Better informed and more aware citizens enable our democracy.
What can you do to help?
Email or contact your state senator and state representative with your support of bill 365. This bill was initiated by high school and college age youth. See website: care4eduequity.org
