requiring instruction on communism in public high schools.

HB 749 requires all public high schools to provide at least one hour of instruction on the nature and history of communism to students. This mandate, effective September 1, 2025, allows schools to deliver the content as a standalone lesson or integrate it into existing courses like history or civics. The bill directly affects public high school students and educators by adding this specific curriculum requirement to state education law (RSA 189:11). It does not specify teaching methods or content beyond the minimum hour requirement.
