Florida state senator Alan Hays (R) is working on a bill requiring students in Floridas 1,700 public high schools and middle schools to watch conservative author Dinesh DSouzas right wing conspiracy docudrama "America: Imagine the World Without Her."
"I think the educational system failure is the biggest reason that the current occupant of the White House sits there. I think his occupancy of the White House is an indictment of our educational system all across America and we need to get back to teaching the truth," Hays argued during an interview with Newsmax Wednesday. "We need to remove politics from the educational system, we need to teach history as it happened and teach it truthfully showing the whole story, and thats what this movie does quite well."
The film, a sequel to DSouzas 2012 anti-Obama film "2016: Obamas America," accuses liberals of re-writing America's history in an effort to "convince a nation to author its own destruction" and "unmake the America that is here now."
The documentary attempts to debunk several historical fabrications, according to DSouza, including the genocide of millions of Native Americans during the acquisition of their land and the exploitation of slave labor as the engine of American economic growth.
Salons Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig criticized D'Souza's reasoning as "laughably bad" in a review of the film last week.
"The argumentation itself is bad, laughably bad," Bruenig wrote. "Native Americans were bad treaty-keepers who were already killing each other, the brutes, a claim DSouza curiously follows up with the assertion that they all died of disease anyway -- just naturally, just like that, out of nowhere."

This is some seriously crazy shit. Hays and D'Souza are both mad as a hatter.
