🎓 Education
State Sen. Dave Murman has introduced a bill that will require Nebraska K-12 schools to teach about the dangers of communism starting next school year (including a test on civics for eighth graders and high school graduates).
Educators oppose the proposal, saying it limits local boards’ control over social studies standards.
