that the Holocaust be taught in the educational curriculum, and
12 States (Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia) recommend teaching
the Holocaust but the funds necessary to carry out those
recommendations may not be available.
''(3) The Holocaust is a sensitive and difficult subject to
teach effectively, and educators need appropriate teaching
tools and training to increase their knowledge of the Holocaust
and enhance the educational experience.
''(b) Statement of Purpose.--It is the purpose of this subpart--
''(1) to educate students in the United States so that
they--
''(A) may explore the lessons that the Holocaust

hate that arise from Holocaust denial; and

appearance of the integrity of its programs or any official or employee
involved in those programs.
