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.

What's so different about this and normal ass cracker education we have now? They already teach you communism bad and 100 gorillion killed and vuvuzela no iPhone.

"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 2 years ago

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

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

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.

3rd grade field trips to see shen yun, anyone?

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 2 years ago

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