FL State Rep Introduces Bill To Make High Schoolers Watch D'Souza's Film

Gather round, ye graduating high school seniors, and behold the right wing propaganda film your right wing lawmakers want you to view before leaving the cozy cocoon of high school.

Republican Alan Hays said he’ll introduce in November his one-page bill that simply states that students in the 1,700 Florida public high schools and middle schools are to be shown the film unless their parents object.

The plan is sure to draw fire from liberals not only because D’Souza is a prominent conservative but because he is also behind the movie, 2016: Obama’s America, which is a profoundly negative take on Democratic U.S. president Barack Obama.

America, the movie, espouses a conservative point of view toward telling history. D'Souza takes on leftist arguments that portray the U.S. in a negative light, and he specifically attacks Howard Zinn, author of the book A People’s History of the United States, often considered the most widely used history book in U.S. academia.

I hope the voting public sees this for what it is and reacts with a solid backlash.
