A proposed bill in West Virginia would require students to learn about America’s founding before learning about “social problems, economics, foreign affairs, the United Nations, world government, socialism or communism.” Under the bill, teachers who stray from this order could face fines. Eleven West Virginia legislators sponsored the bill earlier this month before it was referred to the Committee on Education and Judiciary. Currently, the West Virginia code requires schools to teach “regular courses of instruction by the completion of the twelfth grade in the history of the United States, in civics, in the Constitution of the United States, and in the government of the State of West Virginia.” The proposed legislation, if adopted, would make this requirement more stringent. The new legislation would require students to participate in at least 1.5 years of instruction on America's founding before graduation.
