The one-semester course must begin by autumn 2027 and will cover 13 money-management topics. Lessons will include banking, debt, credit scores, taxes, investing, insurance and budgeting. California became the 26th state to introduce such a requirement.

Fresno Unified has offered personal finance education since 2023, with classes becoming some of its most popular electives. Teachers have reported high engagement with lessons covering savings, budgets, retirement plans and credit scores. Nationwide, 30 states have agreed to guarantee personal finance courses for teenagers.

I'm not American, I don't care what they do in Californian schools, however this should be rolled out all across European schools too. It would stop this braindead socialism/communism-trend, as kids would quickly learn that these political ideologies make people poor. And poor people are more easily controlled by the government, because everyone needs to eat.
Capitalism isn't perfect, it's far from it, but it has demonstrated over and over again, that it works to bring prosperity and a solid middle class, while socialism/communism has never worked anywhere. Ever.
