U. S. State of California Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1915, the Armenian Genocide Education Act into law, Asbarez reported.

The bill adds Armenian Genocide survivor and witness oral testimonies into the teachings of human rights in California public schools and encourages professional development activities and resource development for teachers to teach about the Genocide.

On August 26, the California Senate, with a vote of 36-0, unanimously passed the AB 1915. This bill, authored by Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian, builds upon the first legislation passed in 1985, AB 1273, which incorporated the Armenian Genocide in the Social Studies Curriculum.
