Here at The Dissolve, we feel duty-bound to watch pretty much everything that slouches through American theaters. As evidenced by our compendium of 2014’s worst films, we accept the good with the unconscionably terrible and agree to tackle it all. Not infrequently, that can result in bad movies happening to good people, situations in which a reviewer pure of heart has to reckon with a film so bad it must surely be evil. But last summer, head honcho Keith Phipps decided that he wouldn’t force any of his steadfast staffers through the soul-destroying ordeal that is watching Dinesh D’Souza’s America: Imagine The World Without Her. Understandably so—I remember Keith saying something about not wanting to feed the trolls, and D’Souza is nothing if not the troll of the decade.

But the consequences of that executive decision have now arrived to haunt us all. A lawmaker in Florida (where else?) is currently in the process of gathering support for a bill that would make D’Souza’s America required viewing for malleable, vulnerable schoolchildren. Now, I’m not going to say that this shocking perversion of basic decency and humanity could’ve been avoided if The Dissolve had run a review of the film. That would be baseless, shit-kicking speculation, and I feel like it’s only fair to treat D’Souza with the same scruples and integrity with which he’s treated us all these years.

But seriously, an organization called Movie to Movement is already prepared to provide Florida’s public schools with over 1,700 DVD copies of America so that the youth of our nation can learn about how the systematic genocide of native tribes was just a big misunderstanding and they really need to get over it. D’Souza—who’s currently chilling in a “community confinement center” in San Diego, which is like jail, except only at night—feels that the next generation of American schoolchildren need a counterpoint to the sickening lefty propaganda shoved down their throats on a daily basis, from all the “books” with “facts” and “statistics” about “America’s dark imperialist past.”

In a prepared statement to The Hollywood Reporter, D’Souza expressed excitement about the proposed bill: ”It's great to hear that America is being recognized for it's [sic] educational value… With Michael Moore and Al Gore's films being shown in schools all the time, it's great to see [lawmaker] Alan Hays is attempting to even the scale.” The comparison to Gore and Moore is surprisingly appropriate, too. Much in the same way that D’Souza provides an alternative to the bleeding-heart liberal mumbo-jumbo of An Inconvenient Truth, vaguely racist e-mail forwards from your grandparents are an alternative to textbooks and learning.
