States act to preserve Capitol attack history

New York Assemblyman Chuck Lavine is pushing a bill to require public schools to teach the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, saying students deserve the unvarnished record. Similar moves are advancing elsewhere: Maine swiftly enacted a law to remember and preserve the accounts of witnesses, while Nevada’s Legislature passed a resolution condemning Donald Trump’s pardons of about 1,500 rioters and the attack itself. Supporters warn of whitewashing as House leaders decline to install a mandated memorial plaque, and the Justice Department removed its Jan. 6 prosecution pages after Trump’s inauguration.
