Modifies provisions governing a high school examination on American history, institutions, and civics

Summary

The bill would make it mandatory for public and private (non‑trade) high schools in Missouri to offer at least a semester‑long civics course covering state and federal government, American history, and the electoral process, and to require students to pass a statewide exam on these subjects before receiving a diploma. It also adds a curriculum focus on the racial equality movement, allows waivers for out‑of‑state transfers, creates a statewide student recognition program, and exempts foreign exchange students. The measure failed to pass.
