The state's social studies standards would be required to include instruction on government, civics and "exemplary figures and important events in Western civilization, the United States and the state of Iowa." 

It also requires teaching on "the crimes against humanity that have occurred under communist regimes since 1917," in addition to World War II and the Holocaust, the American Revolution and other historical events. 

"As part of a broader update to our educational standards designed to promote a deeper understanding of both American civics and Western history, this bill specifically requires that students be taught about the Holocaust," said Reynolds, who signed the bill at Beit Shalom Jewish Community synagogue in Davenport. "It also requires instruction on the broader context of World War II, as well as the significance of ancient Israel.
