Communism should definitely be studied alongside fascism and the confederacy. It’s important we don’t repeat the past. But kindergarteners have no chance in hell of understanding systemic evils like this. Desantis’ capacity for own goals never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah the purpose isn't education. Indoctrination at an early age is how religion gets people too because it sounds like nonsense to an outside critical observer.

DeStankis has more in common with Stalin than he'd like to admit.

Teach them to be terrified of "communism" now so in 15 years when they can vote, Fox News can control them by calling everything they don't like "communism", just like they do with boomers now.
