Support S2547 – Help Bring Inclusive History to Every Classroom!

Across New York, too many students still learn from curricula that do not reflect the vast diversity of our communities. Senate Bill S2547 will change that by requiring all schools—public, charter, and private—to integrate culturally responsive education at every grade level. This means every child can see themselves and their communities represented in what they learn, helping to build mutual respect, belonging, and understanding for everyone.

What S2547 Will Do:

• Establish clear, culturally responsive education standards to guide teaching at every level.
• Launch a pilot program to ensure best practices in inclusive history are tested and shared statewide.
• Invest $25 million in schools to develop and implement these vital curricular changes.

By supporting S2547, you join a movement to ensure our young people gain a richer, fairer, and more accurate understanding of history—one that honors all backgrounds and lived experiences. It’s a crucial step toward greater equity and opportunity for every student, no matter their race, ethnicity, or identity.

Let’s work together to ensure every child learns a history that reflects all of us.
