New bill would require Nebraska K-12 schools to teach anti-communist lessons

LINCOLN — A new bill would require Nebraska’s K-12 schools to teach lessons about the ills of communism.

Legislative Bill 1024 from State Sen. Dave Murman of Glenville would require each Nebraska school district, starting next school year, to make time to teach the history of communism — worldwide and in the U.S.

The proposed curriculum would range from covering what the bill describes as “the increasing threat of communism in the United States and its allies through the 20th century” to “mass killings that have occurred under communist regimes.”

Similar state laws have passed in Florida and Texas. Florida Republican U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar has a federal bill that passed the U.S. House that would require the creation of a civics education program to teach high schoolers nationwide about “the dangers of communism.”

It's so important for social studies students to learn about the importance of maintaining an oligarchy, where the rich pay less taxes than the workers and where the government cracks down.any protesters and dissent.

Anyway, if you can't teach the kids about black history, you HAVE to fill their heads with SOMETHING!
Maybe February can be designated as 'Capitalist History Month'!
