Wisconsin requires teaching of organized labor in public schools

AP:

A state bill up for a hearing today would require Wisconsin public schools to teach the history of organized labor and the collective bargaining process in the U.S.

Labor unions support the requirement. But groups representing school boards and administrators have registered against it saying they don't want the curriculum micromanaged

North Carolina's House:

ouse members have endorsed teaching North Carolina public school students about how thousands of people were sterilized through a state program in the mid-20th century.

The House Education Committee approved legislation Tuesday that would order the eugenics program be included in the public school curriculum. The bill also direct students and professors at University of North Carolina campuses to interview program victims so future generations know what happened.
