The Wisconsin governor has signed a bill requiring K-12 schools to teach Asian American history, according to a press release from the governor’s office.
The bill, which Gov. Tony Evers (D) signed Thursday, also requires schools to teach Hmong American history, per the release. In the release, Evers said that “[t]he Hmong and Asian American communities are a critical part of our state’s history, culture, economy, and our future.”
“It’s important that we celebrate our shared histories and honor the people who help make Wisconsin the state it is today,” Evers continued in the release.
“I’ve been proud to sign several key pieces of bipartisan legislation into law to recognize the contributions Hmong and Asian American folks have made to our state and our country, and this bill builds upon those efforts, ensuring the histories and stories of Hmong and Asian American communities are part of state curriculum for future generations,” Evers continued.
