Only two US states legally require that 9/11 be taught in public schools — and the void is being filled with twisted lefty lessons blaming America, downplaying Islamic terrorism and portraying Islamophobia as the real tragedy.

The hijacked history of America’s darkest day has created a lost generation. According to one shocking new study, two-thirds of American Middle East studies professors say college kids cannot identify who attacked the US on Sept. 11, 200,1 or why.

New York requires schools to observe a moment of silence on Sept. 11 and the state Board of Regents includes teaching about the attacks in social studies standards, but the state has no standard curriculum covering the attacks.

Only Arizona and Florida mandate that the 9/11 attacks be taught in schools. Ten states have statutes that encourage teaching about the attacks — which could mean anything from a moment of silence, classwork, or a school assembly, according to an August University of Wisconsin Study.

“We made a promise to ‘Never Forget’, but today, only a handful of states require 9/11 to be taught in their schools,” Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R- Long Island), who is pushing legislation to mandate 9/11 curriculum be taught in all 50 states, told The Post.
