The California State Assembly unanimously passed the Armenian Genocide Education Act (AB 1915) requiring the inclusion of the Armenian Genocide in the list of studied subject areas for the adopted courses of study in Social Science for Grades 7-12 in the US state.

The bill has now moved to the California Senate Rules Committee for consideration, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) press office informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The co-authors of this bill are Assemblymembers Adrin Nazarian and Katcho Achadjian, and this bill stresses their inclination toward a systemic approach for the teaching of the Armenian Genocide.

Earlier, AB 1915 had received unanimous support in the California State Assembly Appropriation Committee, and in the California State Assembly Education Committee.
