HARRISBURG – The PA Senate approved legislation that would require the PA Department of Education to create curriculum on the events that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001 and make it available to school districts across the Commonwealth. York County Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill’s legislation was offered as an amendment to another bill during a Senate Education Committee meeting last month. The curriculum would include the historical context of terrorism, as well as details of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, PA. It would also cover the U.S. recovery and response to the attacks along with global challenges and consequences in the post-Sept. 11 world. The legislation moves to the PA House for consideration.
