Ana Margarita Abaunza: We Must Teach Students the Truth About Communism

Ana Margarita Abaunza speaks at Gov. DeSantis' press conference on the signing of HB 5. This bill expands required instruction in high school to include a comparative discussion of political ideologies that conflict with the principles of freedom and democracy essential to the founding principles of the United States, such as communism and totalitarianism. It also provides a library of "Portraits in Patriotism" based on personal stories of diverse individuals who demonstrate civic minded qualities, including those who have moved to this country after being persecuted in nations like Cuba and Venezuela.
