Lawmakers passed House Bill 2898 on Friday, which could mandate a new civics education requirement intended to highlight both the benefits of Democracy and the perils of Marxist ideology.<\/p>\n<p>The measure would require Arizona public school curriculum to include oral stories from people who have fled communist countries. Rep. Judy Burges (R-Ariz.) said the legislation would provide a comparative discussion of political ideologies, such as communism and totalitarianism, and how they \u201cconflict with the principles of freedom and Democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More Americans are fighting back everyday!
