🚨 FLORIDA IS DOING WHAT THE REST OF AMERICA WON’T  Starting this semester, every public school student in Florida is REQUIRED by law to learn the real history of communism. Soviet Union. Mao’s China. North Korea. Castro’s Cuba. Not the sanitized, “it’s never been tried” version. The actual body count version. DeSantis signed the anti-communist education bill in 2024 for a reason. Socialism is on the march in American politics, and Florida decided kids should know where that road ends. DSA just praised Fidel Castro online last week. DeSantis didn’t flinch: Florida students know better. Even the Democratic Socialist running for Senate is suddenly trying to pretend the label doesn’t mean anything. Meanwhile, kids whose families actually fled these regimes are sitting in class understanding exactly what’s at stake: Freedom isn’t the default. It’s the exception. Florida is teaching the truth. The rest of the country is still pretending the 100 million dead were just a “flawed implementation.” America First starts in the classroom.
