The state of Delaware will require Holocaust and genocide education in middle and high schools beginning with the 2021-22 academic year.

A bill was signed into law by Gov. John Carney last month to mandate such education for grades 6 through 12. Each district will be able to develop its own curriculum.

The bill unanimously passed the state legislature.

Fifteen states currently Holocaust education in secondary schools, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The bureau’s data suggested that a Jewish person was nearly 225% more likely to be a target of a hate crime than a black person was in the United States last year.
“There is democracy within Likud,” Israeli Transportation and Road Safety Minister Miri Regev told JNS.
Mali and Liel Yahalomi, who flew to Prague and then continued to Vienna, were located by local police.
No injuries were reported. Separately, Israeli soldiers shot dead two terrorists who posed a threat.
