"Wisconsin Mandates Teaching of Asian American and Hmong Histories in Schools"

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed a bill requiring K-12 public schools to teach Asian American and Hmong history, acknowledging the significant contributions of these communities to the state. The legislation aims to ensure that students see themselves represented in the curriculum and understand the importance of Asian American stories in the state's history. The move comes as part of a broader effort to recognize and celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of Wisconsin's population, including the state's significant Hmong population.
