DeSantis Signs Bill Mandating Communism Lessons

“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,” the Miami Herald reports.

“The bill, which Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed along with two street designations in honor of Cuban exiles, would require the instruction to begin in the 2023-2024 school year. It would require teaching of Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro, as well as ‘poverty, starvation, migration, systemic lethal violence, and suppression of speech’ endured under those regimes.”
