Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill into law Monday establishing a new state holiday known as “Victims of Communism Day” on which public schools are required to teach students about communist regimes.

We need a Victims of Capitalism Day, and toss in a Victims of Roman Catholicism Day for good measure too

Why worry or speak about the problems facing your state and country when you can divert people attention to communism. Like the other guy he treats his constituents with contempt and like they are idiots. Sadly his followers are and it does.

DeSantis better be careful talking shit about communism or Putin may not want to help with elections
Vlad has no interest in day to day details like that. He's more like a gangster overlord than a respectable communist in any event...

But I have been told again and again that the GOP is defending the rights of parents to decide what their kids are taught.
How can they pass a law that mandates what instruction the children will receive in school?

It is a mystery.
So confusing.
It's almost like the whole idea they were for parental control of the curriculum was bullshit.

Children SHOULD learn about the evils of Communism. The followers of Communism outdid even the Nazis when it came to murder, oppression and misery. Florida is full of Cubans who experienced the communist oppression themselves and I'm certain that this initiative will be fairly popular.

It may be.
I'm just surprised for you to be so on board with state-mandated indoctrination.
Shouldn't the local parents be allowed to have a say here?

It's not indoctrination. It's teaching about and remembering the insanity of Communism that enslaved a billion people and murdered upward of 100 million. Not to.mention the untold suffering and injustice inflicted upon millions of innocents. It was the greatest, and remains so, tragedy in the history of humanity. So, yeah it's worth a day of remembrance, regardless of what the apologists and defenders say. They're morons, anyway, so who gives a fuck what they think?

Just as they should learn about the evils of the free market system, starting with the history of the dawn of the industrial revolution, with child labour, unsafe working conditions and miserable pay.

The free market has evolved. The Communism has not.

Russia and China are totally the same as they were 100 years ago, right?

Is your world really that binary?
Communism was moderated and became socialist democracy, the free market system was moderated with socialist rules over business and socialist services.
Both have evolved.

ROTFLMFAO!! Russia is now a kleptocracy and China "evolved" into classic fascism. There's no such thing as democratic socialism nor can communism exist in the democratic framework. What you lefties try to pass off as socialism is in reality free market economy moderated by the welfare state.

Sure, and the US evolved into a two party system with one of those pushing classic fascism. Doesn't seem that different or less corrupt on that end. The SC pushes partisan politics, the senate controlled by lobbyists and you've been backing a wanna be fascist for years here.
