This bill would establish a “Celebrate Freedom Week” in all Arizona public schools. During this week, students in grades 1–12 would receive lessons on the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution (including the Bill of Rights), and their historical context. The curriculum would highlight how these documents relate to major American themes like immigration, the Revolution, abolition of slavery, and women’s suffrage. Students in grades 3–12 would recite a passage from the Declaration of Independence unless excused. Schools would also be prohibited from removing religious references from the founding documents during instruction.
