Remembering Fidel Castro as a social justice warrior or human rights advocate might be an easy way to get a black eye in Miami. Nevertheless, the fools are out there. This is what we are talking about:
The students were told that Castro was “a figure whose impact on Cuba and the world is undeniable.” While that’s true, it’s not for positive contributions. The script conveniently omits that Castro’s reign was marked by human rights abuses, mass murders, and political suppression. Instead, he was applauded because he “challenged imperialistic influences.”
“As the leader of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Castro aimed to uplift his people by overthrowing the Batista regime and ushering in a new era of social justice. His policies in healthcare and education significantly improved the standard of living for many Cubans, and his politics promoted antiracism,” the script said.
When an upset parent asked how Castro could possibly be celebrated, an administrator brushed off the complaint, noting he was a small part of the larger assembly.
“His decolonization efforts were why he was selected, but his problematic leadership and actions were also included in his blurb,” the administrator said in an email forwarded to The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.

He grew up reading a limited number of books and getting indoctrinated in schools.

The democRATs don’t like the Cuban refugees. I wonder why.
Killing homos, like Trudeau’s dad did, is social justice.
Sounds lije what our schools have devolved into.
The hot buzzword today.
And I interpret this as yet another way to attack Israel since the "Palestinian struggle" is all about "decolonization".
Gee, I am looking forward to when they will celebrate Stalin or even Pol Pot in this manner.
Might explain Castro’s Little Bastard’s popularity in Canada,
The Cubans just swapped one dictator for another. The communists always re-write history to eliminate the truth of their horror with the fiction of the “worker’s paradise”. Look at what they’re doing currently in re-writing our own history.
You must remember,like Castro, he’s only popular with certain people. I’m guessing that those who approve of Biden & his “group” might approve of Castro & Trudeau.
I would change approval to worship
