(Jewish Group) Oklahoma Senate Bill to affirm Holocaust teaching in standard curriculum
Some class agendas may look a little different than in years before.
"What's new in the curriculum this year is a renewed emphasis on Holocaust education and social studies," said John Waldron, representative for House District 77.
Legislatures passed Senate Bill 1671 to affirm Holocaust teachings in Oklahoma's standard curriculum.
"As a way to combat intolerance, discrimination, bigotry, and hate, and to remind children that the greatest generation liberated the Nazi death camps and ended the Holocaust, and we can learn real lessons from that," said Waldron.

Of course, living here, I wonder if they are going to teach that The Holocaust was a bad thing.
