Action:
Awaiting Debate
NEA will use existing means to urge state and local affiliates to encourage their states to require Holocaust and genocide education in all K-12 and higher education public institutions.
Rationale/Background
The rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes and neo-Nazi organizations drew attention from the FBI and the UN. The Holocaust and all forms of genocide are rooted in prejudice. Educating students on these atrocities in history may reduce hate crimes.
