School curriculum: social studies: American military conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Existing law requires the adopted course of study for grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to include instruction in social sciences, and authorizes that instruction to include instruction on World War II and the American role in that war. Existing law encourages that instruction to include a component drawn from personal testimony, especially in the form of oral or video histories, as specified. This bill would encourage the instruction in social sciences to include instruction on the American military conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, including Operation Desert Storm, and would encourage that instruction to include a component drawn on personal testimony, especially in the form of oral or video histories, as specified.
