Crucial Communism Teaching Act
The Crucial Communism Teaching Act (S 634) mandates the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation to develop a high school curriculum and oral history resources focused on communism's historical impact. It requires the curriculum to include specific content: that communism caused over 100 million global deaths, explain its dangers compared to U.S. democratic principles, and note 1.5 billion people currently living under communist systems. The materials must be usable in social studies, history, and government classes across U.S. high schools. The bill directs the Foundation to collaborate with state and local education leaders to implement these resources in schools.
