DeSantis Orders Florida Schools to Teach ‘Evils of Communism’

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill requiring public schools to teach “the dangers and evils of communism” increasing his influence in his state’s education system and catering to conservative voters after a failed presidential bid.

The law aims to “prepare students to withstand indoctrination on communism at colleges and universities,” according to a statement by DeSantis’s office. It will also require teachers to discuss the spread of communism in Latin America, Cuba’s communist policies and how the ideology clashes with the founding principles of the US.
