Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-11-103.6i: State Board of Education – Adoption of Oklahoma City

bombing to curriculum.

A. The State Board of Education shall adopt a social studies

core curriculum with courses of instruction in Oklahoma history for

all students enrolled in the public schools that incorporates

information about the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P.

Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and the role it played in

the history of Oklahoma and the nation from April 19, 1995, to the

present. A study of the bombing and its aftermath can help students

learn the impact of violence, the senselessness of using violence to

solve problems or change their government, and the importance of

personal responsibility.

B. The State Department of Education may make program materials

and resources concerning the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred

P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City provided by the Oklahoma

City National Memorial and Museum available to the public schools of

this state.

C. The State Textbook Committee, when adopting textbooks, shall

incorporate the provisions of subsection A of this section into the

criteria used to evaluate United States history and Oklahoma history

textbooks.
