Just a few days ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 28, Assembly Democrats derailed legislation that would examine how well New York public schools are teaching students about the wholesale slaughter of European Jews by Nazi Germany, the NY Post reports.
Records show the bill was originally on the agenda for a Monday meeting of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee before being removed. Committee Chair Helene Weinstein said that followed outreach from the state Education Department.
“There were some issues going on,” Weinstein told The Post Monday afternoon without offering specifics. “It was the Passover holiday, [I] wasn’t able to reach some people that we needed to speak to.”
State law requires that public schools teach about the Holocaust, as well as other historical topics like the Great Irish Famine and immigrants’ contributions to building the transcontinental railroad. The proposal would give the department one year to report back to the Legislature about how well students are learning about the Holocaust, according to the legislative language.
Right. So Heather has two mommies and CRT is immediately allowed and mandated. No meetings necessary. Holocaust, oh that we have to have meetings after meetings to see how much we can water it down. Thank you Carl Heastie.
“Assembly Democrats derailed legislation that would examine how well New York public schools are teaching students about the wholesale slaughter of European Jews by Nazi Germany… The upper chamber passed the bill in 2018 under the former Republican majority.”
So much for the Left’s progressivism!
Raboisai, just keep voting for DemocRATs and this is what you’ll get.
