美联社的调查显示,美国至少40个州对公立学校教授9·11事件有所规定或建议1。在这些州中,25个州明确要求或期望学校提供9·11专项教学,另有13个州允许将其作为可选内容纳入课程1。然而,各州的教学内容、深度和框架存在显著差异,从详细的课程框架到宽泛的概念提及不等,某些州甚至未明确说明应教授的具体内容1。
教学要求的演变反映了这一历史事件在教育中的重要性提升。大约十年前,美国约60%的州在教育标准中未明确提及9·111。近年来这种情况有所改变。弗罗里达州2023年法律规定某些中学和高中课程需用45分钟讲授9·111;亚利桑那州2022年要求所有公立学校进行"年龄适当的"9·11教育,2023年调整为仅限七至十二年级1。美国约三分之一的人口出生于9·11事件之后1,这使得学校教学尤为重要。皮尤研究中心近期民调表明,约60%的美国年轻成人称首次通过学校了解这些袭击1。为支持教育工作,纽约9·11纪念馆在2023年筹集超过2500万美元,用于增强学生实地考察、教师培训和其他教育项目1。
An Associated Press investigation has found that at least 40 states have policies requiring or recommending that public schools teach about the September 11 attacks in some form.1 However, the scope and depth of these requirements differ significantly across jurisdictions, ranging from detailed curriculum standards to broader conceptual frameworks, with some states providing minimal guidance on what should be taught.1
Among the states with 9/11 education policies, 25 have explicit requirements or expectations for dedicated instruction on the attacks in public schools, while an additional 13 states include 9/11 as an optional topic.1 A decade ago, approximately 60 percent of states had not explicitly mentioned 9/11 in their education standards, suggesting a growing trend toward deeper coverage of the attacks over time.1 The timing of this educational emphasis is particularly relevant given that roughly one-third of the American population was born after the 9/11 attacks.1
The AP conducted its analysis by submitting requests to all states, reviewing standards from four states, and interviewing lawmakers.1 Recent polling from the Pew Research Center indicates that about 60 percent of young American adults first learned about the attacks through school.1 Some states have formalized specific requirements: Florida enacted legislation in 2023 mandating that certain middle and high school courses dedicate 45 minutes to teaching about 9/11,1 while Arizona passed a 2022 law requiring "age-appropriate education" about the attacks in all public schools, which was revised in 2023 to apply only to grades seven through twelve.1 The 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York raised more than $25 million in 2023 to enhance student field trips, teacher training, and other educational programs.1
