When I was in high school, way back in the 60’s, we had a required class in “Americanism vs Communism”. The students widely recognized it as BS and simply went through the motions. I’m confident that today’s kids can see through the state-sponsored propaganda also.

As was the case in the early 2000s, we are seeing the federalization of the Florida education system via conservatives. Ten years from now, they'll be complaining about the system they created.

It's amazing how many people in the online business world and homeschooling community who don't explicitly talk politics but I could bet that they are right-leaning complain about school putting kids into boxes, everything being about tests, the unavailability of home economics and shop classes, overemphasis on everyone going to college, etc. I want to scream, "YOU (or your parents) VOTED FOR THIS 20 YEARS AGO!!!!"

Ten years from now, we'll also hear them complaining about aspects of school they don't like that can be tied directly to "lock your doors" being the only solution provided to gun violence and mass shootings.
