The California State Assembly Education Committee has unanimously adopted a bill to include education on the Armenian genocide into the state curriculum.
The bill calls for the inclusion of genocide into the curriculum, including the cases of Armenia, Cambodia, Darfur, Rwanda and the Holocaust. It also calls for expanding the use of oral testimonies, with Member Adrin Nazarian, who introduced the bill, noting that California was home to many genocide survivors who could provide first hand testimonies of their experiences.
