Rhode Island Governor signs a law on genocide education
Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee signed a new law encouraging state department on education to help local schools to teach students about genocide, which is supposed to be a part of civil education, “wpri.com” website writes.
The legislation, signed into law Wednesday by Chafee, directs state education officials to create online curricular materials dealing with past genocides.
“Stamfordadvocate.com” writes the material will be designed to help local middle and high schools create lesson plans on the Holocaust and genocides in Armenia, Cambodia, Iraq, Rwanda and Darfur.
The bill was sponsored by state Rep. Anastasia Williams, a Providence Democrat, and state Sen. Joshua Miller, a Cranston Democrat.
