Philadelphia School District to Revise Social Studies Curriculum After House Committee Report

The School District of Philadelphia plans to replace its current social studies curriculum with new materials developed with national experts. This decision follows a House Committee report that alleged the district's existing curriculum promoted "far-left activists" from second grade. District officials have disputed the report's characterization, calling its framing "blatantly partisan." The new curriculum is scheduled for implementation in the 2027-28 school year.
