 BILL NUMBER:  S5530

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act in relation to authorizing the commissioner
of education to conduct a study regarding courses of study on the
Holocaust within the state

 PURPOSE :

To require the commissioner of education to submit a report to the
governor and legislature regarding compliance with the requirement to
provide a course of study on the holocaust and to authorize the
commissioner to promulgate regulations to ensure school districts are
providing such instruction.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 authorizes the commissioner of education to conduct a study
to determine which school districts are offering instruction on the
holocaust in compliance with section 801 of the education law.

Sections 2 provides that commissioner shall provide a report on the
findings of such study by the first of January after this act has
become law.

Section 3 directs the commissioner to promulgate rules and regulations
ensuring school districts are offering instruction on the holocaust in

compliance with section 801 of the education law

Section 4 sets the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The horrors of the Holocaust, in which millions of innocents were
murdered in a calculated and cold-blooded way, still sicken and offend
the human conscience. every fair-minded citizen would agree that there
are not two views-right and wrong, good and evil-about such an
abhorrent and morally unjustifiable event.

Recent new stories have featured a controversial high school
assignment in which students were instructed to provide their "Nazi
point of view" in support of the Holocaust. This troubling assignment
comes amidst a rise of anti-Semitic vandalism and threats of violence
against our communities.

This legislation will ensure that all of our children are taught the
horrors of the Holocaust so that we can truly live up to our pledge of
never again.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
