“The bill also expands our previous efforts in civics to add a requirement to the high school government class that the students receive instruction on the evils of communism and totalitarian ideologies,” DeSantis said.
“We have a number of people in Florida, particularly southern Florida, who have escaped totalitarian regimes, who have escaped communist dictatorships to be able to come to America. We want all students to understand the difference,” he continued.
“Why would somebody flee across shark-infested waters, say, leaving from Cuba to come to southern Florida? Why would somebody leave a place like Vietnam? Why would people leave these countries and risk their lives to be able to come here? It’s important for students to understand that,” DeSantis added.
The Florida governor is also taking measures to ensure that the heroes who escaped from communism and bettered their lives in America through hard work and dedication are honored as they should be.
“Florida will create a portraits-in-patriotism library so students can learn about real patriots who came to this country after seeing the horrors of these communist regimes,” DeSantis said.
