More than half of young, likely voters want a “democratic” socialist to win the White House in 2028. In my humble opinion, the sudden surge in socialist sentiment among young Americans is not a coincidence. During my teaching career, I worked in public schools in Illinois, Georgia, and South Carolina. Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1264 , “requiring instruction in public schools on the history of communism,” into law. If young Americans receive the unvarnished truth about socialism in their formative years, the socialist juggernaut will slowly but surely lose momentum.
