This booklet lists the laws that relate to Nebraska social studies. The volume is intended for administrators, teachers, and curriculum planners to assist them to do a more thorough job of planning social studies programs. The Nebraska Social Studies Statutes are designed to be a primary tool in developing a district's curriculum, as they speak to the values that Nebraskans have held for many generations and will continue to hold. The educational environment is the one area where these values can affect the greatest number of Nebraskans. There is a disclaimer that the laws may appear obsolete with language referring only to men, but that all young people should enjoy a democratic way of life and absorb democratic and character building values deemed important. Some laws are very specific about course content and course offerings, while others are very vague and general. Laws listed deal with the following topics: (1) American citizenship; (2) Character education; (3) Multicultural education; (4) Holidays (including Thanksgiving; Veterans Day; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; George W. Norris Day; American Indian Day; State Day; and Pulaski's Memorial Day). (EH)
