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.
