DeSantis signs a bill that requires the teaching of communism in schools. The lessons would have to be “age appropriate and developmentally appropriate” and incorporate various topics related to communism, including the “history of communism in the United States and domestic communist movements” and “their histories and tactics.”
Most if not virtually all tenured teachers in Florida are certainly communists.
They will do everything in their power to avoid teaching about communism honestly.
One hopes Governor DeSantis is preparing for this eventuality, including facilitating the firing of tenured teachers for refusing to comply with the new law/curriculum requirements.
Surely, the lessons will be about communism as a failed economic system, designed to enslave and oppress people, not as a viable option to capitalism??
A few weeks ago I was in the library of an elementary school I was assigned to. One of the books I spotted on the shelves was titled Who Was Che Guevara?
A public school library had a children's book praising one of the most well known communist leaders in history.
Absolutely made me want to puke.

This does not sound wise.
Right now most teachers are communists. they will give communism a sympathetic hearing.
