What do Cuba and Florida have in common?
Book-banning, censorship — and, added into the mix this week, state-mandated school indoctrination for political purposes.
They’re hallmark practices of the Communist Party-led regime in Cuba, tools used for six decades to keep Cubans isolated and in the dark about information that falls outside of what the ruling party’s ideology commands people to believe.
Ironically, after this year’s GOP-dominated legislative session, the same manipulative tactics are now pillars of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ public education system.
Math textbooks and literary books are being banned because some comité a la Cuba — aka “Moms for Liberty,” made up of citizens jazzed and empowered by Republicans into a state of hysteria — deemed them inappropriate and sounded the alarm.
Educators are being censored and handed guidelines, embedded into law, about what they’re allowed to say and not say to students on race or gender identity. Nothing that makes whites uncomfortable. Nothing about being gay or trans in kindergarten to third grade when kids are full of questions about fellow classmates or themselves.....
Public school teachers in Florida will be required to dedicate at least 45 minutes of instruction that day to Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro. As well as to the “poverty, starvation, migration, systemic lethal violence and suppression of speech” that people endured under their regimes.
Yet, these same students can’t be taught about the “poverty, starvation, migration, systemic lethal violence and suppression of speech” to which Blacks have been — and still are — subjected to in this country.

The article is bullshit.
Too little, too late. Get your kids out of the communist day care centers, aka public schools!
Uh.... you just described the modern Democrat party!
The monkeys are on their typewriters again.
Fla. commies have their panties in a bunch due to reversal of their policies?
[Commies are always projecting...]
What a feckin crock. Paper not even suitable to line my parrot’s cage bottom with….
You are being too kind.
Fidel’s love child?
No Shakespeare there. Whoever hit these geniuses in the head stopped too soon with the hammer.
This author is nuts.
What kind of a nut jumps to this stupid conclusion.
A veritable continent of it. (That’s a lot😀)
Opinions are like butt holes. Everyone has one.
They can’t teach kids about mutilating their genitals in kindergarten, or how whitey is to blame and they even learn that communists end up killing people! Oh woe and sadness lol.
If DeSantis is a Communist, I am joining the party!
How stupid. Anyone who believes this cannot have an IQ above 75.
Au contraire. Florida hasn’t insisted on political indoctrination in schools. It has stopped political indoctrination in schools.
This Leftist is obviously upset about it.
So, where does De Santis imprison journalists that criticize him? How about all those booksellers that sell opposition books? And all those lawyers that opposed him must be breaking rocks on a chain gang by now.
Oh, and if you’re black in Cuba, good luck with being in a position of power. Fidel and Che made that plain.
11. Sounds like “disinformatzia” to me. Old Alinsky technique. Claim your enemies use facist/communist tactics to deflect a close scrutiny of those MARXIST ones you are using.c.f.
Democrats own the 75 and below IQ demographic
