Florida’s Curriculum on Communism — Every State Should Follow Suit

 DeSantis wants students to learn what socialism looks like after the slogans meet reality.

The American Spectator   

"If our educational system was working better … Marxism would have the same evil connotations as Fascism."

Mike Rowe: Supporters of socialism are mostly college grads pissed they're buried in debt because they swallowed the 'get a degree' kool-aid"

"Florida’s middle and high schools are expanding instruction on communism for students in grades 6 through 12. Last November, Florida’s Board of Education approved new History of Communism standards to be implemented during the 2026-2027 school year."

"In 2024, the Florida legislature passed, and Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law, measures requiring schools to teach about the “evils and dangers of Communism.” DeSantis started this process back in 2021. One goal of the law and new standards is to prepare middle school and high school students to “withstand indoctrination on Communism at colleges and universities.” Every state in the country should follow Florida’s lead, despite those on the left who characterize Florida’s move as a “dangerous recasting of McCarthyism” and designed to teach students “what to think, rather than how to think.” (RELATED: Meet America’s New Un-Americans… the DSA)

"A history professor at UCLA said: “If I were a teacher, I would feel really scared by this” — apparently teachers should be scared to tell the truth about communism. A retired Yeshiva University history professor expressed concern that the curriculum would downplay or ignore “McCarthyism,” which she described as “the longest lasting and most widespread episode of political repression within the United States,” ignoring the extent of communist infiltration of our government and society that even McCarthy underestimated.

"A history professor at the University of Central Florida claimed that the new standards are a “rewriting” of history. The daughter of blacklisted communist Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo criticized the legislation last year as an effort to downplay the Red Scare of the 1940s and 1950s.

"These are examples of a phenomenon known as “anti-anti-communism,” which portrays anti-communists as greater threats to liberty than communists. For this group, Joe McCarthy was a greater threat to America than those domestic communists who worked on behalf of Josef Stalin. . . ."  More.
