In reply to the discussion: This Fall, Florida Students Will Be Forced to Take "Anti-Communist" Classes [View all]ancianita
(43,284 posts)4. To be fair, though, Florida also requires that students pass a Florida Civic Literacy Exam (FCLE), which covers
the U.S. Constitution, founding documents, and landmark Supreme Court cases.
Students enrolled in a high school U.S. Government course must take the FCLE. Students must achieve a 60% or higher (48 out of 80 questions) to pass.
tudents entering a Florida College System or State University System institution in 2021-22 or later must pass the FCLE to meet the civic literacy competency requirement.
Passing the FCLE in high school fulfills the requirement, exempting them from retaking it in college.
The test includes questions on the U.S. Constitution, American democracy, and founding documents.

It should be a comprehensive class on uncontrolled capitalism as well but it won't.
