> A controversial bill mandating that all public schools teach Asian-American history is heading to the governor’s desk in Illinois after the state legislature passed it, as reported by Politico. > On Monday, the bill passed the Illinois House of Representatives by a vote of 108-10, having previously passed through the Illinois Senate by a unanimous vote. Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-Ill.) plans to sign the bill into law, setting up for all public schools in the state to be required to teach Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history in the 2022-2023 academic year. > The bill, formally known as the Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History Act, or TEAACH, was introduced by State Representative Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz (D-Ill.) back in 2020, where it was ultimately shelved so that the state could focus solely on responding to the coronavirus pandemic. Gong-Gershowitz described her gratefulness for “support from the Asian-American community and from the non-Asian community.” Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz???
