Bill > SB1890

This bill mandates that Tennessee's academic standards for social studies, when next adopted, must include grade-appropriate content on the history of communism, covering its domestic movements and tactics, atrocities committed under communist regimes abroad, comparisons with ideologies like totalitarianism that oppose freedom and democracy, the historical threat of communism to the U.S. and its allies including specific events like China's Cultural Revolution, the economic and political factors leading to communist revolutions, and the communist policies in Cuba and their spread in Latin America. The standards recommendation committee will be responsible for recommending this content, and the state board of education will be required to adopt it.
