Yup, the most annoying requirements we had were the "you must teach PA history in 6th grade and American history in 8th grade and World history..." Almost as bad as the "you must teach fire safety every year" requirement.

I liked to learn history, once I reached high school, by reading a biography or a book on a subject. Maybe we'd chose a period, but we didn't often use actual texts. That was a little harder to do with stupid state requirements.

I have Clare registered with a high school in Maine for transcript and diploma purposes. Maine has a requirement for 'State Studies', but the high school will allow an extensive Driver's Education course to count for most of the hours required, since she'd be learning State laws in the process. Clare did that week before last, and we're going to fill in the remaining hours with a couple of field trips to Boston or other historical areas.
