(Springfield, IL) — School kids in Illinois are now required to learn about Asian-American history. Governor Pritzker signed a law on Friday that requires the classes. The law takes effect in the 2022-2023 school year and requires U.S. History classes to teach about the contributions of Asian Americans from the building of the railroad to the civil rights movement. Illinois’ two Asian American lawmakers sponsored the new law.
