2023 House Bill 203: An Act relating to curriculum

HB 203 covers a multitude of curriculum changes and clarifications, the most pertinent of which would require public middle and high schools to include instruction on the history of racism including (but not limited to): the transatlantic slave trade, the Civil War, Jim Crow laws, black codes, desegregation, the civil rights movement, redlining, and residential segregation. 

KSVT supports this bill, recognizing that students deserve honest and accurate descriptions of history. Learning the truth will prepare us to engage with the diverse and complex world we live in and help ensure that history is not repeated.
