An Act teaching anti-racism in Massachusetts schools

This bill establishes a permanent commission on anti-racist education to create a mandatory curriculum for public and charter schools in Massachusetts. The commission would include members appointed by various organizations, such as the Massachusetts Asian American Commission and the NAACP, alongside historians and education officials. Its primary task is to develop specific lesson plans covering topics like the legacy of scientific racism, systemic racism in literature, and the history of slavery and genocide. Once the curriculum is approved, schools must teach it, and the commission will meet annually to review and update the content.
