Collective Faith Community Historic Contribution Curriculum Inclusion Amendment Act of 2024
This bill requires the District of Columbia's Office of the State Superintendent of Education to create a new curriculum for high schools that highlights the historical contributions of various religious groups, including Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists. The law mandates that this course be developed in consultation with educational and religious leaders and must be approved by August 2025 to count as one of the four required units for graduation. Once implemented, the curriculum will be taught in public and charter secondary schools starting in the fall of 2025, ensuring that students learn about how these faith communities have shaped American history.
