Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation requiring students to learn about the Holocaust and other genocides at least twice between the seventh and 12th grades.
“Arizona will continue to stand with and support the Jewish community,” Ducey said in a press release. “This bill works to educate our youth on the atrocities of the Holocaust and other genocides. Tragedies like this must never be allowed to happen again.”
Ducey called the bill “a step in the right direction to fight antisemitism” and wrote that the state would continue to fight against the recent rise of anti-semitic violence. He cited the incidents of antisemitism in Queen Creek, Chandler, and the Chabad on River Synagogue in Tucson.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, there were over 2,000 incidents of antisemitism around the country and 23 incidents in Arizona in 2020, with 10 more in Arizona this year.
The governor’s office referenced a 2019 Pew Research Center study that revealed that fewer than half of respondents could correctly answer multiple-choice questions about the 6 million lives tragically lost during the Holocaust.
Signed Friday, the bill was introduced by state Rep. Alma Hernandez, D-Tucson, and passed the Legislature on June 30.
“This legislation is an important step to honor both those lost in the Holocaust and the survivors who have worked tirelessly to tell their stories,” Hernandez said. “Knowing that all Arizona students will learn about the Holocaust gives me hope. We must teach the atrocities of the past to ensure it never happens again.”

Hernandez said the passing of the bill was her proudest moment as both “an elected official and a Jew in Arizona.”
Sheryl Bronkesh, president of the Phoenix Holocaust Association (PHA), said in a press release that the goal of HB 2241 was to teach Arizona students “to become upstanders, not bystanders, so that when students see bigotry and hatred, they will understand what those ramifications could mean down the road.”“Many Holocaust survivors testified over the past three years before various state committees about the importance of teaching the lessons of the Holocaust,” Bronkesh told The Center Square. “PHA worked with all three state universities to develop resources […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
