Florida GOP proposes law requiring 8th graders to watch anti-Obama film by Dinesh D’Souza

Two Florida Republicans have drafted bills that would make conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza’s film America: Imagine the World Without Her required viewing for eighth graders, The News-Press reports.

State Senator Alan Hays and Representative Neil Combee respectively introduced Senate Bill 96 and House Bill 77 in order to combat what they see as the “erroneous” and “anti-American” content of American history classes.

“Frankly, it’s embarrassing that we allow these lies to be taught in our school system,” Hays told The News-Press. “Unfortunately, our parents and our school board members have not kept up with the misrepresentation of American history that is being perpetrated in our school system, and this movie gives a totally different view.”

“I wish that the movie weren’t necessary, but I think that I can do everything to make sure it’s shown,” he added.

2. Knowing 8th graders, they will either be on their smart phones or snooze during the "movie."

5. That's totally not the point.

They're trying to get history erased.

3. Will it be followed by a film about him pleading guilty to federal campaign finance law?

4. When will they tamp down the anti-Obama and ramp up the anti-Hillary stuff?

Shouldn't they be working on Vince Foster: The Musical by now?

Obama will be long retired and they'll still be screaming

[shenmue]

6. I'll bet they'll balance it out

with some non-Republican films.

7. Hahaha! I'll just bet! nt

8. WTF?

9. I am so glad my son is graduating this year

The quality of education in FL has steadily declined, starting with Jeb! and his magical tests.

10. How did Dinesh D’Souza become so hero worshiped by these people

He's stupid, a criminal, and frankly a terrible writer and film maker. I do not know a single person that sat through his movie or read his book. I'm sure people buy them and pretend to enjoy it to be part of the club but let's not pretend the man makes products that should be consumed. The only gain by making kids watch them will be to Dinesh D’Souza's bottom line.

11. Well, these two morons, for starters...

State Senator Alan Hays and Representative Neil Combee respectively introduced Senate Bill 96 and House Bill 77 in order to combat what they see as the “erroneous” and “anti-American” content of American history classes.


I'm appalled they're state reps, for starters.
