Asian American history is American history. Without recognizing its existence and important contributions that Asian American have made to this nation since 19th century, it is in denial of American history itself.

I fully support the incorporation of Asian American History into the American History which is overdue. We deserve the respects and honors from our contributions for the U. S. in the past, present and in the future.

We've all heard the phrase that America's the cultural melting pot, yet we've rarely looked at the ingredients. We've all tried setting aside a month for Asian American Heritage Month in May, but not many citizens even know what to celebrate or commensurate. Let's identify the numerous contributions of the many Asian predecessors who helped build the America we now know.

Yes, include Asian American history into our MD public school American history curriculum!

would like to see Asian history and contribution better represented, a key part for our united country

Support!

Thanks!

There should be one required unit to all students and a few electives for whom are interested in more.

Everyone wins when we learn the true history of all the people of world. It's time to get this done.

Support. Diverse curriculum improves cognitive skills and critical thinking by presenting students with cultures and views that may differ from their own. Scientific American notes, "Diversity jolts us into cognitive action in ways that homogeneity simply does not." Further, diverse curriculum prepares students for adulthood in their preparedness to work alongside people from diverse backgrounds, and equips them with the knowledge necessary for increased and enhanced civic engagement. This is a benefit for all Marylanders.

"Way Overdue" and thanks to Senators Lam and Lee for introducing SB 304!

support the rights and equality Asian should reserve and deserve in the history of the United States!
