Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
H.Res. 692 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' view that all 50 states should require schools to teach students about the September 11th terrorist attacks as part of their elementary and secondary school curriculum. The resolution notes that currently only 14 states mandate education about 9/11 and argues that teaching future generations about these events is important for honoring the nearly 3,000 victims who died in the attacks, as well as first responders who suffered lasting health effects. The resolution does not create any new funding, impose legal requirements on states, or establish a timeline—it simply calls on states to voluntarily include 9/11 in their educational standards. The bill was introduced on the 24th anniversary of the attacks and sponsored by several House members from New York and neighboring states.
