Even in a very liberal university, whenever (outside of very niche courses) mentioned communism it was always the most insane propaganda. I can only imagine what madness they’ll teach in Florida. Hopefully it’ll backfire like D.A.R.E. but let’s see.

Yeah, we can't let those ebil commies win and turn America into a totalitarian society that controls public thought. We must rigorously instill Freedom™ into the mind of every young child.

Step 1: Teach history of capitalism; Step 2: Frame it as "history of gommunizm" - pure projection, as always; Step 3: Profit

"Okay kids, today we are going to learn about how freedom defeated the horrible authoritarian ideals of communism. But first, please stand and pledge your undying alliance to this flag."

Every lesson is going to end like this. It’ll also always be death by gulag, starvation, or firing squad.

The strangest thing about this proposed bill is that I just assumed American history classes were like this already. It sounded kind of redundant to me.

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 6 months ago

Maybe in high school. But the bill targets kindergartners and elementary school children.

Between Floridian education kids and Elsagate kids I wonder who will come out the most brain poisoned. This is going to make a state full of Kyle Rittenhouse + Jojo Rabbit mashups, assuming they don't treat it like DARE and rebel against the cringe.

I already wrote the curriculum!

It’s got everything that you need: lots of bad stuff constantly happening all the time everywhere for absolutely no fucking reason whatsoever, because that is communism according to (almost all) anticommunists. What’s not to love?

Florida Man tells teachers to scare children with stories of bad communists

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 6 months ago

I hope some teacher decides to use this to actually teach the history of communism

I think this would unironically turn those kids into Pol Potists, Maoists, and Gonzaloites once they learn about the Khmer Rouge
