Flanked by veterans who served in the Bay of Pigs invasion, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed a measure that will lead to the history of communism being taught from kindergarten to the 12th grade in public schools.
Were going to tell the truth about the evils of communism, DeSantis said at the bill signing in Hialeah Gardens.
State lawmakers overwhelmingly approved the measure (SB 1264) during the 2024 legislative session that ended last month. Under the bill, lessons on the history of communism will be added to required instruction in public schools starting in the 2026-27 school year.
The lessons would have to be age appropriate and developmentally appropriate and incorporate various topics related to communism, its history in the United States, including tactics used by communists.

I never sub below 6th grade, but I completely believe what you say about their comprehension skills.
I accidentally accepted a music class (mostly I just do science & math) forgetting it was a K-8 school.
K, 1, & 2 are VERY different than what I'm used to. It was a mistake I won't make again.

(21,326 posts)Teach. I had a fourth grader recently who was defying me so much I sent her and her cell phone to the office. I subbed in the same class yesterday and she refused to come in the class because she didnt like my no cell policy. Spoiled child who always gets her way. A lot of the kids dont like her and were happy she was not in class the day I subbed! Amazing how one child can ruin the vibe of a class. That said Ive heard theres a lot of kids like her in junior and high school that are that way nowadays regarding cell phone addiction.

(16,168 posts)I mean, you keep what's yours and it's yours if you have your hands on it. No sharing. Ever!
And that whole concept of waiting for your turn or giving another kid a go on the swings...NOPE, the kid who can knock another kid off the swings gets it for all of recess!*
*Unless that kid is a girl or not-white, then adjustments shall be made to ensure white, male students are aware of their elevated status.
Yes, this is how i think DeSantis will have this whole thing taught.

Bay of Pigs was a CIA operation, and the "troops" were people who were run out of Cuba.

(28,288 posts)Of course, they'll teach that communism is authoritarianism as well, when it's not.

(14,104 posts)Yes, and there are many evil things that happened under communist regimes. Are you going to tell the truth about the roots of communism? Are you going to tell the truth about the miserable conditions for workers under early capitalism? Are you going to tell the truth about why people became communists?
I won't be holding my breath waiting for you to tell the whole truth.

(848 posts)Will the kids be taught the words to the Internationale for singalongs? Will Che T=shirts be given as prizes? Will the teacher be referring to the children as "Comrades".
I like the French version best.
