Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the 'Anti-Communist Education' bill, Senate Bill 1264, into law, requiring students to receive instruction on the history and dangers of communism starting from the 2026-2027 academic year. The law aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of communism in the US and its influence on activists and movements, including Cuba's communist policies and the spread of communist ideologies throughout Latin America and other foreign countries. The legislation also establishes the Institute for Freedom in the Americas at Miami Dade College, which will operate in partnership with the Adam Smith Center for Economic Freedom at Florida International University.
