MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 2, 2023 05:16 PM
From: Representative Jim Haddock
To: All House members
Subject: 9/11 Remembrance in Schools
 
The terrible events of September 11, 2001, and their aftermath, changed our country forever. The impact on our foreign policy, national security, our society, and our values is to this day still being studied and analyzed. Despite this, the majority of students in Pennsylvania’s schools are not being taught the significance of the events, nor the lasting impact they have on all our lives.
 
To ensure future generations of Pennsylvanians understand the events of 9/11, as well as the impact it continues to have on the lives of all Americans, I am introducing legislation that would require the observance of a moment of silence in all schools across Pennsylvania to recognize September 11th each year. Additionally, my legislation will direct the Department of Education to develop a model curriculum that teaches our kids about the significance of 9/11 and why we can never forget the events of or the lives lost that day.
 
Please join me in supporting this timely and important legislation.
 


Introduced as HB1097
