HF 2005 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for education related to the holocaust for students and teachers in school districts.

HF 2005 requires Iowa public school districts to incorporate age-appropriate Holocaust education into middle and high school curricula by the 2026-2027 school year. The bill mandates that this instruction cover the causes and consequences of the Holocaust, the history of antisemitism, resistance efforts, and the role of U.S. military forces - including African American, Native American, and Asian American soldiers - in defeating Nazi Germany. School districts must also provide teacher training on these topics as part of professional development, using approved resources like the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The Department of Education will annually report on which districts implement these requirements.
