Students throughout New Jersey will soon see contributions that Latino and Hispanic people have made throughout history as part of required learning in the state's Social Studies education programs. “Through today’s bill signing, we are cementing the legacy of New Jersey’s Latino and Hispanic communities,” said Governor Phil Murphy in a statement. “I am especially proud to sign this bill during Hispanic Heritage Month, ensuring that the contributions of our Hispanic and Latino communities are taught in our nation-leading public education system. "Codifying Hispanic and Latino history instruction into law is an important extension of that commitment. These topics will be incorporated in the next required review of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, which, the governor's office said is currently underway.
