Governor Ron DeSantis just signed a bill today that dictates that schools must teach high school students about communism.
The bill also recognizes November 7 as the “Victims of Communism Day.”

Here’s more from Fox News:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday that he is signing legislation designating Nov. 7 as Victims of Communism Day in his state.
DeSantis coupled that with the announcement of $25 million in funding for renovations to Miami’s Freedom Tower, which was built in 1925 and once served as a Cuban Assistance Center for those who fled communism.
“Honoring the people that have fallen victim to communist regimes and teaching our students about those atrocities is the best way to ensure that history does not repeat itself,” DeSantis said in a statement.
“Through HB 395 and the funding announced today, we are guaranteeing that the history of those who fled communist regimes and their experiences are preserved and not forgotten by our students. While it’s fashionable in some circles to whitewash the history of communism, Florida will stand for truth and remain as a beachhead for freedom.”
The bill calls for Florida public schools to observe the holiday, and for high school students taking a U.S. government class starting in the 2023-24 school year to have at least 45 minutes of dedicated class instruction for the holiday. The instruction is to be on subjects including “Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution, Joseph Stalin and the Soviet System, Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution, Vladimir Lenin and the Russian Revolution, Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge, and Nicolás Maduro and the Chavismo movement,” as well has the suffering people went through under those governments.
DeSantis and the state of Florida appear to be doing everything they can to make sure students learn about the evils of Communism.
I can’t stress how important that is at a time when, as we know, academia is hard left and becoming more and more radical every day.
DeSantis also addressed the commies in our universities today, saying “there are probably more Marxists on college faculties in the United States than there are in all of Eastern Europe combined.”
