FWIW, Florida’s new “History of Communism” curriculum is very similar to how the fascist-adjacent right wingers of the 1950s and 60s talked about the place of communism in America. bsky.app/profile/seth...
If the current draft of the Florida State educational standards pertaining to the new History of Communism course are adopted, then students will learn how it's a Commie trick to use the term "McCarthyism" as an insult to impugn the integrity of wholesome anti-communists like today's McCarthyites!
