Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a new bill that requires that all elementary and secondary students receive lessons on the history of communism.

Speaking at a press conference at the Hialeah Gardens Museum and behind a podium that read "ANTI-COMMUNIST EDUCATION", DeSantis expressed the intentions that lead to the decision: "we're going to tell the truth about communism in the state of Florida, we're going to tell the truth about the evils of communism."
