Florida pol behind ‘Victims of Communism Day’ named state education chief

A Florida state senator who pushed for a mandatory “Victims of Communism Day” in public schools has been tapped as the Sunshine State’s next education chief.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday formally recommended Manny Diaz to serve as Florida’s new Education Commissioner.

A Republican from Hialeah Gardens and a former high school teacher and assistant principal, Diaz would be the first Hispanic to serve in the role.

“Manny Díaz has done a great job in the Legislature on education issues ranging from teacher pay to parental rights and choice,” DeSantis said in a statement. “I am confident that he will serve our state well as the Commissioner of Education.”

Known as a staunch conservative, Diaz co-sponsored legislation that would mandate an annual lesson on “how victims suffered under these [Communist] regimes through poverty, starvation, migration, systemic lethal violence, and suppression of speech.”
