Florida public schools will be required to teach students from kindergarten through 12th grade about the history of communism under a bill signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday.
The lessons will be required to be age appropriate and developmentally appropriate for each grade and will be developed by the Florida Department of Education. Among the required instruction, which would begin in the 2026-27 school year: lessons on the history of communism in the United States, the increasing threat of communism in the United States and the atrocities committed in foreign countries under the guidance of communism.
My view is we might as well give them the truth when they are in our schools, because a lot of these universities will tell them how great communism is, so we are setting the proper foundation, DeSantis said at a news conference at the Hialeah Gardens Museum.
DeSantis signed the bill on the 63rd anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the last attempt by Cuban exiles to overthrow the communist regime of Fidel Castro.

Sharing that wealth is bad.

(2,304 posts)Somehow, in the "truth" about atrocities, JAG Jr. Officer DeSantis glee at torturing prisoners will be left out.
My Lai massacre and cover up
The Kent State shootings and cover up.
The literally hundreds of lynchings and 'bridge accidents' of Black Americans.
I could continue, but former junior Jag Officer DeSantis might want to be careful about throwing around words like atrocities.
