Wyoming has announced a new curriculum focusing on historical wars, designed to foster a sense of patriotism among middle and high school students.
Superintendent Megan Degenfelder unveiled the plan on Veterans Day in Dubois, with the new materials to be introduced for the 2025-2026 school year.
The curriculum will be available through the Civics Ed Center, a resource partnership with the Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program, offering teaching resources for educators across the state.
The content will specifically focus on World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, with support from the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois.
The materials aim to promote an unabashedly patriotic classroom setting as Degenfelder believes that many students today lack a strong connection to their country’s history.
The curriculum will not only be available for educators but also accessible to anyone interested in learning about these topics, including parents teaching at home.
While some states have started incorporating conservative-oriented educational resources, such as PragerU, Wyoming is not currently collaborating with this organization. Instead, the state aims to provide a balanced, patriotic perspective on American history through the Civics Ed Center.
