This week, the Miami Herald revealed a bit evaluating the similarities between Florida below in style Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and… Communist Cuba.
Sure, actually.
Creator Fabiola Santiago’s justification? Governor DeSantis signed House Bill 395, designating November seventh as Victims of Communism Day and mandating, beginning subsequent yr, 45 minutes of instruction in center colleges on the risks of communism.

E book Banning and Mothers for Liberty
Santiago makes use of comparisons to Cuba within the type of e-book banning, censorship, and indoctrination. However, first, let’s focus on the e-book banning.
In Santiago’s piece, she says:
“Math textbooks and literary books are being banned as a result of some comité a la Cuba — aka “Mothers for Liberty,” made up of residents jazzed and empowered by Republicans right into a state of hysteria — deemed them inappropriate and sounded the alarm.”

A part of what she is poorly referring to is the Florida State Department of Education rejected 41% of math textbooks this year.
To see why, we want solely take a look at what’s being pushed in textbooks.
One instance was a query on polynomials. The query mentioned that two million folks check their racial prejudice utilizing an internet model of the implicit affiliation check.
Mothers for Liberty Hillsborough County Chapter member Jessica Graham succinctly stated :
“For me, simply educate math, simply educate math. Why does racial prejudice have something to do with math, in any respect? It doesn’t. It doesn’t.”
So Graham doesn’t need left-wing post-modern racialized propaganda in math textbooks – similar to the Cuban Communist Get together!
You can read more about that in one of my previous articles here.
Evaluating dad and mom to Communist Cuban comité certainly gained’t incense dad and mom who’ve been demonized and disregarded for the final two years. That’s been figuring out nice for the left; preserve doing that, please.
Is DeSantis Censoring Academics?
When Santiago refers to censorship, she’s referencing each the alleged “Don’t Say Homosexual” invoice, which you’ll be able to learn extra about here, and Home Invoice 7.
House Bill 7 prohibits any educating that might make college students really feel they’re accountable for historic wrongs based mostly on their race, colour, intercourse, and so forth. The “Cease Woke Act” additionally blocks companies from utilizing related variety coaching.
Santiago states that educators are being censored, going additional to say:
“Nothing that makes whites uncomfortable. Nothing about being homosexual or trans in kindergarten by third grade when youngsters are stuffed with questions on fellow classmates and themselves.”
I’ve a Kindergartener. She asks questions like those beneath:
“Why do alligators have tooth?”
“Why do you drink espresso? It smells unhealthy.”
“Why is 2 + 2 = 4, and a pair of occasions 2 = 4”
Except I had been to place it into her head to ask, she wouldn’t be interested by homosexuality, transgender points, or something of that nature.
The inaccurately monikered “Don’t Say Homosexual” invoice doesn’t even have the phrase ‘homosexual’ in it.
What you may say in all FL colleges: Homosexual
What you cant say in FL Kindergartens: Dont inform your dad and mom about this dialog we’re having about sexual preferences.

Train About Slavery However Not Communism?
Governor DeSantis desires Florida center schoolers to study Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Fidel Castro’s evils. Let’s discover why.
“You’ll be able to see at a school campus college students flying the hammer and sickle from the previous Soviet Union flag, you will note college students that can have t-shirts with Che Guevara, you will note college students that can idolize folks like Mao Zedong. To me this speaks of an incredible ignorance about what these people represented and the evils that communism inflicted on folks all through the world. Whereas it’s modern in some circles to whitewash the historical past of communism.”
His Lieutenant Governor Jeannette Nunez doubled down with the following:
“All through this nation, we’re seeing communism and socialism being romanticized.”
These aren’t simply empty speaking factors meant to enrage rabid dad and mom involved about what the general public training system is pouring into their youngsters’s minds.
According to a study done by the Victims of Communism group, 70% of Millennials say they’re more likely to vote for a socialist, whereas one in three view communism favorably. Moreover, 22% of Millennials imagine:
“Society can be higher if all personal property was abolished.”
You already know what, perhaps Ms. Santiago is true. Maybe it’s extra essential to debate gender ideology with little youngsters than spending 45 minutes at some point a yr to coach youngsters on how communism is horrible. However, look ahead to a minute… no, that’s not proper in any respect.
Even our elected officers on this nation level out a deficit in understanding what these ideas are. Take Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who famously whispered this previous March:
“Let me let you know a secret. Most individuals don’t actually know what capitalism is. Most individuals don’t even know what socialism is.”
She’s not unsuitable; she is included on this group of some folks. So it’s good that she’s self-aware.

Possibly she will take one other trip to Florida like she’s recognized to do. However subsequent yr, do it say round November seventh to get a 45-minute lesson on what communism is and why it’s horrible. That might be taxpayer cash effectively spent.
