If the bill is signed into law, NJ would be the second state to require these lessons
Lawmakers are hoping that new legislation will help prevent bias attacks against Asian Americans in New Jersey. The Legislature recently passed a bill that would require schools to teach Asian American and Pacific Islander history to students in grades K-12. If signed, the bill would make New Jersey only the second state in the country to require these lessons, along with Illinois.
