Bianca Padró Ocasio, Miami Herald — May 10, 2022

Public school teachers in Florida will soon be required to dedicate at least 45 minutes of instruction on “Victims of Communism Day” to teach students about communist leaders around the world and how people suffered under those regimes. Speaking at Miami’s Freedom Tower before a crowd of local lawmakers and supporters, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 395, which designates Nov. 7 as the state’s official “Victims of Communism Day,” making Florida one of a handful of states to adopt the designation. It is, however, the first state to mandate school instruction on that day, as Florida Republicans continue to seize on education policy while placing school curriculum at the forefront of their political priorities ahead of the 2022 midterms.

A.G. Gancarski, Florida Politics - April 4, 2024

Students in Florida schools are one step closer to mandatory communism history classes starting in kindergarten, after SB 1264 was passed by a 25-7 vote in the Senate. Meanwhile, a House version was temporarily postponed Friday just minutes after the Senate measure passed. The bills are similar: Sen. Jay Collins’ bill is entitled “History of Communism” while Rep. Chuck Brannan’s companion HB 1349 has a loftier title: “History and Instruction of Political and Socio-economic Systems.” But for practical purposes, the bills are more similar than different.

According to Rush Limbaugh, there is not a single success story associated with socialism. Socialism has never worked.

What’s not to believe?

Butterflies and rainbows. Puppy dogs, cotton candy, sunshine, and lollipops. Happy little birds chirping in a cool meadow. That’s what students are taught about socialism.

Deserve to know?

Why not forced to know? Every morning when they enter school, force them to turn over all their possessions to their teacher who'll decide who gets what.

That experiment will end in 15 minutes after a few fights from those who got screwed.

So, don’t some schools still offer trips overseas during the summer?

Pick SAfrica. A week walking around capetown.

I gave a great lesson to my kids about socialism.
It was based on a news story about a perfersser that came up with “grade norming”. Take points from A students and give them to C and D students. My kids were A/B students. They thought that idea was full of crap. Same applies to socialism.
