Tuesday marks five years since the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, when an estimated 2,000 supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the building, forcing lawmakers into hiding and resulting in several deaths.
In New York, state lawmakers are proposing legislation to ensure the event is taught in public schools.
State Sen. John Liu and Assemblymember Charles Lavine introduced the measure nearly a year ago.
Lavine emphasized the importance of teaching students about the history and aftermath of that day. He also stated students should be critical thinkers, learning the facts and truths of an event.
The proposed legislation would require collaboration between the Board of Regents, the State Education Department, and local boards of education.
Currently, the New York State Education Department does not mandate specific curricula, leaving decisions to the local level.
Supporters of the bill argue Trump led an insurrection on the Capitol, resulting in assaults and deaths of Capitol police officers.
Within hours of taking office last January, Trump pardoned more than 1,000 people convicted for their roles in the riot.
