Bill Summary
This bill requires school boards and governing boards of private schools to include at least one hour of instruction on the nature and history of communism for high school graduation.
AI Summary
This bill requires all public, private, and nonpublic high schools in New Hampshire to ensure that students receive at least one hour of instruction about the nature and history of communism before graduation. The instruction can be delivered either as a standalone course or integrated into an existing social science course. By mandating this educational requirement, the bill aims to provide students with knowledge about communism, its historical context, and its implications. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its passage, likely applying to the 2025-2026 school year. While the fiscal note indicates that potential costs for local school districts to implement this requirement are unknown and may vary, the bill itself does not allocate specific funding. The goal appears to be ensuring students gain a basic understanding of communism as a political and economic system through a targeted, concise educational component.
