Rhode Island Officially Becomes the Fourth State to Require the Teaching of Asian American History in Schools
Rhode Island is officially set to become the fourth state to require the teaching of Asian American history in schools.
A bill outlining the requirement was introduced by Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung (R-15), a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives, and passed the RI House in a near unanimous vote. The RI Senate passed its own version of the bill and it’ll now head to the Governor’s office for signature into law.
With the bill, she said that she wants students to learn about the achievements of prominent Asian Americans as well as historical events such as the Chinese Exclusion Act.
“It’s so people understand the horrible things that happened in history and don’t repeat them, but it’s also to understand the achievements of Asian-Americans such as Yo-Yo Ma, Kamala Harris, and Lucy Liu,” she previously told the Boston Globe.
The bill stated, “The studying of this material shall constitute an affirmation by students of their commitment to respect the dignity of all races and peoples and to forever eschew every form of discrimination in their lives and careers.”
“Education creates cultural understanding that can help to break through stereotypes,” Fenton-Fung said.
Hulu released the trailer for the upcoming film ‘Quiz Lady’ starring Sandra Oh and Awkwafina.
The film is described to follow “Anne (Awkwafina), a brilliant but tightly wound game show obsessee, and her estranged train wreck of a sibling, Jenny (Sandra Oh), as they come together to pay off their mother’s gambling debt. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped the sisters set out on a wild, cross-country trek to earn cash the best way they know how: By turning Anne into a game show champion. And doing so might just bring this dysfunctional family together.”
The film is set to debut on Hulu November 3rd.
