Press Release  Governor Healey: 9/11 Should be Taught in Massachusetts Public Schools

Boston — On the anniversary of 9/11, Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement about teaching the tragedy in Massachusetts public schools:

“All students should be taught about 9/11 and its aftermath, which is a tragic and important piece of both our state and our nation's history. I've directed the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to work together to ensure that it is fully incorporated into school curriculum frameworks. I’m grateful to the families of 9/11 victims who have advocated for this and are making sure that we never forget this horrific tragedy, the incredible displays of heroism on that day, or the thousands of lives that were lost.”
