Florida’s public schools are launching a bold new curriculum this year, mandating lessons on communism from sixth grade through high school. Designed to explore the rise, impact, and failures of communist systems — including Soviet-style planning, dictatorships in Cuba and China, and even early American experiments like Jamestown — the course aims to equip students with critical thinking tools about governance, economics, and human rights. With a focus on historical atrocities, censorship, and ideological comparisons, the program seeks to illuminate why communism has often led to suffering and economic collapse — all while encouraging students to analyze its enduring global influence.
