TRENTON – New Jersey public schools will have to incorporate the contributions, history and heritage of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the social studies curriculum starting next school year, under a new law signed Tuesday.
Gov. Phil Murphy also signed a bill into law establishing the Commission for Asian American Heritage within the Department of Education, to help districts adjust their K-12 classroom instruction.
“By teaching students about the history and heritage of our AAPI community, we can ensure that the diversity of our state is reflected in our curriculum and create a more tolerant and knowledgeable future for New Jersey,” Murphy said.
