Florida is proud to be the beacon of freedom for those who escaped the terrors of communism. Today in Miami, I joined education leaders and survivors of communist regimes to celebrate the implementation of Florida’s History of Communism Standards. Since I signed legislation to mandate anti-communism education, Florida has developed the most comprehensive education standards on communism in the country. To graduate from high school, all Florida students are now required to learn about the devastation wrought by communism around the world. They will hear true stories of people who experienced oppression under communist regimes in Cuba, the Soviet Union, China, and elsewhere. We must always remain vigilant and never take our freedoms for granted.
