FOX News: Congressman introduces resolution urging all 50 states to include 9/11 in K-12 curriculum

Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., Friday introduced a House Resolution encouraging states to include lessons about 9/11 in their K-12 curriculum "so that the American people may never forget that fateful day."

The resolution states "Failing to educate the next generation of Americans about the events of September 11, 2001, would be a disservice to the memories of the 2,997 innocent individuals who were murdered on that day, as well as the thousands of first responders and survivors who have been diagnosed with, or have died as a result of 9/11-related cancers and other illnesses in the 21 years since the attacks"

The resolution also states that educating all American children about 9/11 would "prepare future leaders, Members of Congress, service members, homeland security professionals, and everyday Americans with valuable insights and context critical to preventing future attacks on the United States.

Rep. Garbarino, who represents New York's 2nd district, told Fox News Digital "the events of September 11, 2001 are of such national significance and profound sorrow that we must ensure they never fade from our collective memory."
