Oklahoma City bombing

===Oklahoma school curriculum===
In the decade following the bombing, there was criticism of Oklahoma public schools for not requiring the bombing to be covered in the curriculum of mandatory Oklahoma history classes. Oklahoma History is a one-semester course required by state law for graduation from high school; however, the bombing was only covered for one to two pages at most in textbooks. The state's PASS standards (Priority Academic Student Skills) did not require that a student learn about the bombing, and focused more on other subjects such as corruption and the [[Dust Bowl]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Alex Cameron |url=http://www.newson6.com/story/12224663/15-years-later-time-to-teach-students-the-murrah-bombing |title=15 Years Later: Time to Teach Students the Murrah Bombing? |publisher=NewsOn6 |date=March 30, 2010 |access-date=December 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512171139/http://www.newson6.com/story/12224663/15-years-later-time-to-teach-students-the-murrah-bombing |archive-date=May 12, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> On April 6, 2010, House Bill 2750 was signed by Governor [[Brad Henry]], requiring the bombing to be entered into the school curriculum for Oklahoma, U.S. and world history classes.<ref>{{cite news |author=Ed Vulliamy |date=April 11, 2010 |title=Oklahoma: the day homegrown terror hit America |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/apr/11/oklahoma-bombing-15-years-on |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407100211/http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/apr/11/oklahoma-bombing-15-years-on |archive-date=April 7, 2014 |url-status=live |work=The Guardian |location=London |access-date=December 10, 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author=Jennifer Pierce |url=http://www.news9.com/Global/story.asp?S=12264522 |title=Governor Henry Signs Bill Making Murrah Bombing Required Learning |publisher=News9 |date=April 6, 2010 |access-date=December 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140406040439/http://www.news9.com/Global/story.asp?S=12264522 |archive-date=April 6, 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="oudaily">{{cite web |author=Ricky Maranon |url=http://www.oudaily.com/news/bill-adds-okc-bombing-to-education-curriculum/article_3c71a42c-30d8-54a7-a51f-8c4053449e90.html |title=Bill adds OKC bombing to education curriculum |work=The Oklahoma Daily |date=April 7, 2010 |access-date=December 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101217092228/http://oudaily.com/news/2010/apr/07/bill-adds-okc-bombing-education-curriculum/ |archive-date=December 17, 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On the signing, Governor Henry said, "Although the events of April 19, 1995, may be etched in our minds and in the minds of Oklahomans who remember that day, we have a generation of Oklahomans that has little to no memory of the events of that day.... We owe it to the victims, the survivors and all of the people touched by this tragic event to remember April 19, 1995, and understand what it meant and still means to this state and this nation."<ref name="oudaily" />
