Florida students to learn 'evils of communism' and its modern 'indoctrination' tactics

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed a bill Wednesday aimed at teaching students in Florida about the “dangers and evils of communism,” including the “current threat” of the ideology in the United States, to prepare students for higher education.

Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, students in Florida will begin to learn about the history of communism, starting as early as kindergarten with lessons that are tailored to be age-appropriate. At the bill signing, DeSantis was joined by veterans who served in the Bay of Pigs invasion, observing the 63rd anniversary of the failed offensive against dictator Fidel Castro’s communist Cuba.
