DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring High School Students to Learn About the ‘Evils of Communism and Totalitarian Ideologies’
DC Patriot ^ | 06/29/21

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to just hit it out of the park with conservatives across America, and barring whether or not the 45th President runs or not, he’s the front runner to be the GOP nominee, or Trump’s Vice President, there’s little doubt anymore. He’ll be one or the other, hands down.

On Tuesday he signed a bill requiring high school students to learn about the “evils of communism and totalitarian ideologies.” A brilliant move as the liberal indoctrination of students from the racist Teachers Union is the biggest threat facing America outside of election fraud.

During a press conference at Three Oaks Middle School in Fort Myers, Florida, DeSantis signed three education bills designed to foster civic literacy in schools.

“It’s crucial to ensure that we teach our students how to be responsible citizens,” DeSantis said during the press conference. “They need to have a good working knowledge of American history, American government and the principles that underline our Constitution and Bill of Rights.”

Florida HB 5 adds a requirement to the high school government curriculum that students be taught the “evils of communism and totalitarian ideologies.”

“We have a number of people in Florida, particularly southern Florida, who’ve escaped totalitarian regimes, who’ve escaped communist dictatorships to be able to come to America. We want all students to understand the difference, why would somebody flee across shark-infested waters, say leaving from Cuba to come to southern Florida. Why would somebody leave a place like Vietnam? Why would people leave these countries and risk their life to be able to come here. It’s important students understand that,” DeSantis said.

Does this end all the “equity” and “diversity” policies in Florida public schools?

Is it political distraction from the fact that racial policies will remain in force in Florida schools?

I know a Cuban/American in his 60’s who escaped when he was a boy. He was ecstatic the day that Castro died.
