AI Summary

This bill aims to include the teaching of genocide across the globe, including the Holocaust, Holodomor, Armenian Genocide, Pontian Greek Genocide, and more recent atrocities in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Sudan, in the Massachusetts history and social science curriculum frameworks for United States and world history. The purpose is to reinforce the notion that national, ethnic, racial, or religious hatred can lead to calamitous consequences and to reaffirm the commitment to preventing future genocides and deter indifference to crimes against humanity. The Department of Education is required to recommend curricular materials and provide trainings, seminars, conferences, and materials for educators to use in teaching about these genocides.
