That being said, I believe the internment is a low point in our history. Recommend reading "Command Decisions" has an excellent chapter on how it happened.
Not trying to do clickbait, but you can checkout this link for information from the book:

I learned about those camps in school don’t see why we would need to spend any more time or money on it.
Everybody knows about the Japanese internment camps. Its taught in normal high school history.
Why on earth do we need some bill in congress and further waste of money we keep borrowing to teach Japanese internment camps again?
What a load of nonsense!
The mood of the country towards the Japanese after Pearl Harbor likely made Hitler blush. If they weren’t interred, they’d likely been beaten to death on the streets. Rightly or wrongly, the United States was in no mood to play nice with them after that.
Remember, the worst thing in the world is when white people over-react to attacks by people of color. So, DON’T teach children about the attack on Pearl Harbor. Teach them about internment camps. DON’T teach children about 9-11. Teach them about Islamophobia. Remembering that yellow is the new white, DON’T teach children about black on yellow crime. Teach them how Korean shopkeepers enclose their display cases in plexiglass. It’s not about good people versus bad people regardless of skin color. It’s not even about skin color. It’s about VIRTUE SIGNALLING.
Teachers could use this as an opportunity to also discuss the COVID internment camps setup by Australia.
Snip:
The Republicans who registered their opposition were Reps. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Mo Brooks (Ala.), Michael Cloud (Texas), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Bob Good (Va.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Andy Harris (Md.), Clay Higgins (La.), Trey Hollingsworth (Ind.), Doug LaMalfa (Calif.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Mary Miller (Ill.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Chip Roy (Texas) and Van Taylor (Texas).
Proud to see my Congressman listed among those voting No.
He is in good company!
Yeah! So, there are 16 Americans in our House of Representatives. That seems to be the only take-away.
And any project will inevitably gloss over the fact that FDR and the Democrats were deeply racist and FDR pushed the camps personally.
It will be nothing but woke propaganda like CRT, and will accomplish nothing but promote hate.
I do t know what they’re teaching in schools today, but we learned about the internment camps in U.S. History class back in my school days.
What about a “grant” to educate Americans about the internment of the Patriots in DC Concentration Camps right now?
It’s about programming young Americans for hating their country for acts committed generations ago, while leaving them too ignorant to look beyond the MSM for our current government misdeeds.
So what!!! It’s about time bills are passed to help America and Americans be number 1!
I hate election years. Congress putting bills out that are about politics and nothing to do with what they should be doing.
Will German and Italian Americans that were discriminated against also be included?
my bet is that the majority of republicans and all democrats would vote to put people like us IN internment camps.
We all learned about this is history class .
It was rightfully taught as a small subset of events during WWII.
I’m sure now they want to make the centerpiece of all events during WWII.
