Need recognition of the memorial days for the victims of Communism.

Florida public schools may soon observe a “Victims of Communism Day” under a bill approved Wednesday by the House.

Sponsored by Republican Rep. David Borrero of Sweetwater, the bill (HB 1553) would designate Nov. 7 in Florida as “Victims of Communism Day.”

“Throughout history, communism has proved that it is riddled with bloodshed and the deprivation of so many lives,” Borrero said.

The proposal also calls on high schools to teach students about communist dictators and the experience of communism victims.

The instruction, which would become a high school graduation requirement, is required to be at least 45 minutes long.

These are good ideas. More states should be doing this, at least red states.
