New Jersey schools would teach about September 11 attacks

School districts would include lessons about the September 11 attacks in social studies. This would cover elementary, middle, and high school students in New Jersey school districts. Lessons must suit students' ages and cover the attacks' history, acts of courage and aid, and how safety and civil liberties can be balanced. They must also teach ways to respect people of different religions and cultures. The requirement would first apply in the first full school year after enactment.

Public schools would organize yearly events remembering the September 11 attacks. This would apply to New Jersey public schools and their students. Events must help students learn about the attacks and give them age-appropriate chances to discuss handling conflict, diversity, and tolerance across religions and cultures. Schools may include charitable activities. The events would take place during the week of September 11 each year, starting in the first full school year after enactment.
