A trio of Pennsylvania state lawmakers have plans to introduce legislation in the Keystone State that would require all schools to commemorate Jan. 6.
In a memorandum to the state Senate last month, state Sen. Art Haywood (D) said he planned to introduce legislation that would require all schools in the state annually observe Jan. 6. The bill is a companion to another bill that designated the 2023 anniversary date as “1/6 Day.”

“Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation to ensure our students never forget to honor the courage and sacrifice of the fallen, as well as the bravery of the survivors who defended the nation and Constitution on January 6,” Haywood wrote in the memorandum.
Haywood is joined by two other Democratic state lawmakers who said they would co-sponsor the legislation. State Reps. Chris Rabb and Ed Neilson said the legislation would commemorate the five police officers who died in the days after the 2021 Capitol riot, according to Just the News.
“This legislation is about embracing truth and being a country that is actively engaged in fighting systems of oppression,” Rabb said. “This moment demands reconciliation with a clear-eyed and honest assessment of what it will take to get back on the path toward atonement and healing that we so desperately need.”

Haywood’s memorandum says the Jan. 6 rioters “executed a planned and violent attack to stop Congress from carrying out the electoral college process required by the U.S. Constitution” and that five police officers who died in the days following the riot, several of them by suicide, “died as a result of injuries sustained during the battle or subsequent to it.”
