"DeSantis and the Florida Legislature have mandated, starting with the 2023 school year, that Florida’s middle-school students get an earful about the horrors of communism every Nov. 7, declared 'Victims of Communism Day.'”

"Public school teachers in Florida will be required to dedicate at least 45 minutes of instruction that day to Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro. As well as to the 'poverty, starvation, migration, systemic lethal violence and suppression of speech' that people endured under their regimes."

"Yet, these same students can’t be taught about the 'poverty, starvation, migration, systemic lethal violence and suppression of speech' to which Blacks have been — and still are — subjected to in this country."
