"Radical Regimes Education Act"; requires age-appropriate instruction on certain governmental regimes in grades nine through 12.
This bill requires New Jersey public schools to teach students in grades 9-12 about historical atrocities committed by the governments of the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.), China (PRC), and Nazi Germany. Specifically, it mandates age-appropriate instruction covering the history of these regimes, their human rights abuses and genocides, and the use of systems like gulags and concentration camps. School districts must align this teaching with State Board of Education standards and will receive sample instructional materials from the Commissioner of Education. The law applies to all New Jersey public school districts implementing social studies standards for high school students, beginning with the first full school year after enactment.
