Two Democrats from South Florida in the Legislature want to increase the focus on Holocaust education in the Sunshine State.
On Monday, state Sen. Kevin Rader, D-Boca Raton, and state Rep. Rep. Tina Polsky, D-Boca Ration, brought out the “Holocaust Education Act.” The legislation would have the Florida Department of Education create curriculum standards on teaching the Holocaust and have traditional public schools, charter schools and private schools which accept vouchers follow it.
The two South Florida Democrats’ offices weighed in on why the bill was needed.
