Connecticut lawmakers are urging a vote on requiring teaching Asian American history in public schools. - NBCAsianAmerica
. Other states such as Ohio, California, New York and Florida are making similar pushes for mandatory Asian American history.
Republican state Sen. Tony Hwang, the bill’s sponsor, said education should be used as a tool to build cultural awareness. Hwang also supported the 2019 law requiring Black and Latino studies, and said it will help pave the way for the Asian American studies bill. “For too long, anti-Asian hate, violence and bias have been unaddressed and ignored by all but those who have lived its pain,” Connecticut Attorney General William Tong wrote in an email. “We know that law enforcement cannot address this crisis so long as its trauma remains invisible. That is why we also need to teach the overlooked history of bias and hate — and the successes and contributions — of Asian Americans in this country.
