Identify, discuss, and explain the exclusionary language and intent of the Oregon and U.S. Constitution and the provisions and process for the expansion and protection of civil rights.

Oregon's 2024 Social Science Standards, revised per Senate Bill 702 to strengthen civics content, organize K-12 instruction across four domains: Civics, Geography, Economics, and History. Senate Bill 513 (2021) established a mandatory 0.5 credit stand-alone civics course for students entering grade 9 in 2022-23 or later (class of 2026+), which must appear separately on transcripts and cannot be folded into other social science courses. Civics content addresses political institutions at local, state, tribal, and national levels; voting as a fundamental civil right; values and principles of a pluralistic democracy; and the contributions of historically underrepresented groups. Integration of Indigenous history, Holocaust/genocide education, and contemporary civic issues is required throughout all social science courses.
