California
History-Social Science Content Standard 10.5.5 requires
that students in the public schools: |
|
Discuss human rights violations and genocide,
including the Ottoman government's actions against
Armenian citizens. |
| |
|
History-Social Science Framework
for California Public Schools: |
| "Within
the context of human rights and genocide, students should learn of
the Ottoman government's planned mass deportation and systematic
annihilation of the Armenian population in 1915. Students should
also examine the reactions of other governments, including that of
the United States, and world opinion during and after the Armenian
genocide. They should examine the effects of the genocide on the
remaining Armenian people, who were deprived of their historic
homeland, and the ways in which it became a prototype of
subsequent genocides." |
|
(Framework, p.127) |
|
"Genocides, such as that perpetrated on the Armenians, already had
demonstrated the human capacity for mass murder. The Nazis
perfected the social organization of human evil and provided an
efficient and frightening model for future despots such as Pol Pot
in Cambodia." |
