New history lessons adopted by the California Board of Education this year may especially resonate with students and families in the City of Fresno.

Schools are now required to teach about the Armenian genocide—an important history in the Fresno area, which has a large American-Armenian community, according to The Fresno Bee.

The US State of California’s revised history and social science framework adds key facts relating to Armenian Genocide and its causes, and asks teachers to link it to the Holocaust.

Teachers also are to provide information on the “unprecedented American humanitarian response” to the genocide: relief efforts raised more than $117 million in the aftermath, saving more than 1 million refugees.

The new content, which is more inclusive and aims to teach students to think critically about historical events, is expected to show up in textbooks by 2018.
