Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Monday requiring Sunshine State students to learn about the “Victims of Communism” in high school.
Beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year, high school students enrolled in US government courses will get at least 45 minutes of instruction each November 7 describing how “victims suffered under these regimes through poverty, starvation, migration, systemic lethal violence, and suppression of speech.”
DeSantis inked the law at the Freedom Tower in Miami, where 650,000 Cubans were processed after fleeing their homeland upon Fidel Castro’s seizure of power in 1959.

Very good idea...
He should demand they get to read the Constitution, and the
Federalist Papers also.

Bravo, Gov. DeSantis! The liars who pimp the “glories” of communism have to be shown for what they are.

Every other Republican governor pales in comparison.

They should add at least another 45 minutes for “victims of Fascism” and another for “victims of Globalism”. The name of the course could be “Murderous Utopians 101”, or the like.

Orwell’s 1984 could be required reading for 7th graders too...

DeSantis is just about the only Republican getting stuff done. Expect the RINOs like Romney and Mitch to try to kneecap him.

Good. That should be nation wide.

They should also teach how they come into power by promising to make things “fair” by taking from the successful (equity) as opposed to having the same rules for everyone (equality).

Outstanding idea! Should be in every state.
Orwell's "1984" should also be required reading, side by side with learning about the U.S. Constitution.

no one comes close. If Trump weren’t running, he’s a shoo-in. and enough of this Trump/DeSantis ticket.
VP’s historically do nothing and useless. If you need a perfect example, look at our current idiot VP.

Went through the public school system here in Fla back in the 70s.
Back then we’re were required to take a class in high school called “Americanism v/Communism.
Sounds like this is something similar.

I don’t think that 12 year olds would get it. But Animal Farm isn’t a big book and it is all about communism and how it quickly moves from a society where everyone is equal to a society of elites and peasants.
