Summary

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that all 50 States should integrate the events of the September 11th terrorist attacks into their elementary and secondary school curricula. The resolution underscores that September 11, 2001, was the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil, resulting in 2,977 immediate deaths and countless injuries and illnesses, while also highlighting the heroic actions of first responders and the subsequent fundamental shift in United States national security policy. The measure notes that despite the first post-9/11 generation reaching adulthood, only 14 States currently mandate education on these events. It asserts that failing to educate future generations would be a disservice to the victims and first responders, and it is imperative to provide valuable insights and context to prepare future leaders and citizens to prevent similar attacks, thereby ensuring this critical part of American history is not forgotten.
