U.S. House Passes H.R. 5349 to Educate Students on Communism's Dangers, Citing Gen-Z Views
Dec 6, 2024, 03:38 PM
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Crucial Communism Teaching Act (H.R. 5349), introduced by Representative Maria Salazar. The legislation aims to educate high school students on the dangers and historical atrocities associated with communism. The bill was supported by several members of Congress, who cited the need to counteract the growing favorable views of communism among younger generations, with polls indicating that nearly one-third of Gen-Z views communism positively and nearly 20% believe it's better than capitalism. The Act seeks to provide resources to schools to teach about the consequences of communism, including its impact on victims such as misery, oppression, and exile. Speaker Johnson emphasized the importance of teaching American values in schools, while Representative Salazar highlighted the personal experiences of those who fled communism to achieve the American Dream in Florida.
