Communists are in the business of power. It only takes one generation to believe their false promises and we lose everything. We cannot misinform our children. Knowledge is power. Churchill said that by studying history, ``the farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.'' Communism only leads to destruction and misery. Mr. Speaker, I urge support from my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. This bill has nothing to do with politics, and it has nothing to do with political parties. It has to do with preserving the institution and what we have created as a Nation. Let's teach our children about the truth. Let's not fall into the trap. Let's start from kindergarten to teach the children, and then they will be able to make a knowledgeable decision when they go to the voting booth. Mr. Speaker, I urge support from my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Let's pass H.R. 5349.
