Bill > HB2115

This bill requires local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools in Tennessee to recognize November 7 of each year as "Victims of Communism Day" and to provide at least 45 minutes of instruction to high school students enrolled in world history and geography courses on that day. The instruction must cover topics such as the atrocities committed under communist regimes, including the Cultural Revolution in China, the Soviet system under Stalin, the Cuban Revolution, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and the Chavismo movement in Venezuela. The bill aims to educate students about the suffering experienced by victims of communist oppression, including poverty, starvation, migration, violence, and suppression of speech.
