Teaching Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander History Act
Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Meng, Grace [D-NY-6]
Introduced
Summary
Adds Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) history into federal K–12 education programs and assessments. It would require the Education Department to support curricula and teacher resources that cover AANHPI settlement, contributions, discriminatory laws, and links to current events.
Show full summary
- Students and families — Students would see AANHPI history included in core American history lessons and national assessments, making that content a routine part of K–12 learning.
- Teachers and schools — The Education Department could award grants to eligible entities to run programs and provide teacher training, and the bill names the Smithsonian Institution’s Asian Pacific American Center as a partner to supply resources and materials.
- Federal programs and exams — The bill inserts AANHPI history into multiple parts of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Presidential and Congressional Academies for American History and Civics, national activities, and the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
