Bill > SB1890

This bill mandates that Local Education Agencies (LEAs), which are public school districts, and public charter schools in Tennessee must provide students with age- and grade-appropriate instruction on the history of communism. This instruction is required to cover various aspects, including the history of communism within the United States and its tactics, atrocities committed in foreign countries under communist regimes, a comparative discussion of ideologies like communism and totalitarianism versus freedom and democracy, the historical threat of communism to the U.S. and its allies, the economic and political events leading to communist revolutions, and the communist policies of Cuba and their spread in Latin America. The bill also directs the department of education to create guidance for schools on this matter, potentially seeking input from victims of communism or related organizations, with the instruction requirement taking effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
