No way my teachers were equipped to properly teach Marxism-Leninism or Mao Zedong Thought. Good luck Florida.
"Now children we will be reciting a new Florida pledge of allegiance. Repeat after me. The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history and led to an almost totally equal redistribution of land amongst the peasantry."
Florida passed a law that military vets are permitted to teach without being certified in order to address a teacher shortage in the state, schools are not being properly equipped for any subject

"Now, I don't much care for communists, but I can stand by a man that done hates his landlord" an elderly man with a southern drawl wearing overalls inexplicably in a Floridian school gymnasium says before lighting a hand rolled cigarette indoors with a non-safety match he ignites on aforementioned overalls

Deep sleeper agent, Comrade DeSantis knows what he's doing.

I was with you till this part lmao 😂 Ravens all day
For some reason it's the first sports team that comes to mind when I think of a sports team from Florida. Possibly due to Jason from The Good Place.
"The history of Communism" curriculum will just be
Gommulism killed 10000 gorillion people, no food, no innovation, no freedom.
And that's it.
Yeah Im more offended over America’s blatant omission of history rather than the complete fabrication of it.
Shit like the 8 hour work day, the fact that the children are even inside a classroom learning this drivel instead of working at the daw mill or slaughterhouse, desegregation and civil rights. These things didn’t magically happen or even organically happened. Communists, socialists, anarchists, and hell even some liberals fought, killed, and died for this shit. Not just on the streets against cops and your neighborhood racist, but in the mountains and fields with machine guns against American soldiers as well. The US was scared shitless of the USSR because so much of the country was suffering that their possible sympathies with communism was a national security concern.
Imagine going to war because you just want a weekend.
Truly on the shoulders of giants.
AKA the same stuff they've been teaching American students since the Eisenhower administration.
how exactly do they think this is going to play out?
Teacher: Communism is bad because Stalin killed people.
Student: So all Stalin had to do was not kill people and communism would have worked?
Teacher: No, the ideology made Stalin kill people.
Student: So Stalin did not have free will?
Teacher: No, free will exists, don't be a dirty Calvinist, Stalin was willingly following Marx's ideology to the letter.
Student: So how did the ideology create the regularly recurring famines that happened for centuries until the 50s, cause the kulaks to burn their own food, or the Western powers to sanction the USSR before the USSR had done anything wrong? What part of Marx's writings caused this?
Teacher: I'm legally required to report all dissenters to the Department of Freedom.
My Westoid school decided it would be a good idea to have us read Animal Farm in English class before we had learned about the Russian Revolution in History class.
Cue an exasperated English teacher trying to explain to a class of confused middle schoolers how the pig is obviously Trotsky or Stalin.
•
we got an explanation when my class read it but for some reason the interpretation was basically lenin = good and stalin betrayed the revolution.
i think our teacher was a trot
•
pretty sure it is. blair was still nominally a "socialist" even if a total POS
even in my most anti-communist youth there was always a seed of "what-if" lenin didn't die would the communist project have succeeded. i just thought it was a historical one-shot that never could be repeated
fucking great man theory BS
i did the same but our teacher didnt even bother to explain that it was about the russian revolution so we all thought it was just about some pigs being mean and stuff
I remember reading Animal Farm and not getting it at all. I remember thinking the book was kinda dumb. I probably would have thought that given the right contenxt, just for new reasons though lol.
I had to read it at about 13 in English, and I got it was about communism and the pigs were lenin and stalin but I only had really vague knowledge of the soviet union, so I thought the ending was about the dissolution of the ussr
We definitely watched the 1999 live action Animal Farm, I honestly remember very little about the whole book/movie.
Edit: Aw fuck I forgot that Jim Henson's Creature Shop worked on that movie.
This is kinda funny, in my high school the whole class came to the unanimous conclusion that Animal Farm was about the American revolution. The pigs were the rich whites and the other animals were the slaves and poor.
•
I haven't read much on it but the fact that FL is even allowing Prager to create their elementary school curriculum is dystopian AF.
•
it is but on the plus side the students will probably completely check out from that Corporate Memphis bullshit
it's as painful as watching HR mandated videos at work
•
Corporate Memphis
I needed to google this and now need to change a few stock images I used for a portfolio website I just finished. I didn't know this art style had a name lol. 
Depending on who you're targeting for your portfolio website it might not matter. Obviously corporate types seem to like it.
•
This is true. I'm hopefully going into freelance web development and since I'm going to be targeting a wide arrange of businesses, I think a certain level of cringe is allowed. Whatever makes the site "pop", right?
Lol, can we talk about the Redditor for a second? "This is Chinese-level indoctrination shit." Homie, do you hear yourself? Which is it exactly, are the Chinese doing the "Bad Thing" that you want people to avoid, or are we trying to teach kids about the "Bad Thing" which is some how just as bad as China teaching "Bad thing actually good thing though"?
If they don't get their daily fix in whining about the dastardly orientals, they will explode in a fit of rage rampaging through chinatown calling everyone slurs
Bruh, American, you invented the fucking red scare FFS.
The US (and it's allies) are a whole set of countries in denial. Probably due to the American-level indoctrination
Full support for the Florida Department of Education vanguard as they Chinese-style indoctrinate future generations of comrades
So students in Florida will learn that there is something called communism and that the deeply uncool assholes who are in charge of everything thinks it is very very bad.
I wonder what will happen once the students gets fed up with how the assholes are ruining the world they're growing up in.
the difference being that today (unlike 80s, 90s, etc) you can go on the internet and see communism is actually awesome, and kids starting Kindergarten next year will not be able to stop seeing China winning for the rest of their lives.
They might not be able to see what China is like if the same republicans pushing this law also get their internet censorship laws passed.
Well, the racist redditors are right about one thing. They probably do teach the history of communism in Chinese schools.
In the year I went to school in China (5th grade), we learned a story about Mao Zedong helping peasants and also memorized the Long March poem. Unfortunately, at the time I was an America-poisoned 10 year old and didn’t appreciate it 
Critical support for Comrade DeSantis as he brings Communism back into study, opening the gateway to Communist Florida!

It would have been great to learn about communism since kindergarden, but most of my teachers were libs at best, so no thanks.
no better way to brainwash children let everyone know communism is bad but to tell them communism is a freedomless totalitarian ideology from the comfort of your freedomless totalitarian theocracy.
