Tennessee SB2168 mandates recognition of "Victims of Communism Day" and requires instruction on communist regimes' atrocities.

Tennessee SB2168 amends state law to designate November 7 as "Victims of Communism Day," requiring local educational agencies and public charter schools to honor victims of communist regimes. If a school offers a world history and geography course, it must include at least 45 minutes of instruction on the suffering of victims under communism, including poverty, starvation, migration, lethal violence, and suppression of speech. The instruction must cover topics like Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, and Nicolás Maduro.
