BE IT ENACTED BY THE

NEW
SECTION. Sec. 1. A
new section is added to chapter 28A.300 RCW to read as follows:
(1)
Every public high school is encouraged to include in its curriculum instruction
on the events of the period in modern world history known as the Holocaust,
during which six million Jews and millions of non-Jews were exterminated. The
instruction may also include other examples from both ancient and modern
history where subcultures or large human populations have been eradicated by
the acts of humankind. The studying of this material is a reaffirmation of the
commitment of free peoples never again to permit such occurrences.
(2)
The superintendent of public instruction may prepare and make available to all
school districts instructional materials for use as guidelines for instruction
under this section.
