General Note

Following the Bay of Pigs Invasion in April 1961, the 1961 Florida Legislature passed a law (233.064 (1961), Florida Statutes) mandating all junior and senior public high school students in Florida take the six-week course, Americanism vs. Communism. An educational television version of the course was also filmed and circulated to students. The course remained an educational requirement until the law was repealed in 1983 and replaced with a mandatory economics course.
