Actually there's no "leftist" or "dictator" language in the proposed

(http://www.flsenate.gov/data/session/2005/House/bills/billtext/pdf/h083

  Don't think anyone made that claim   i.e. in the bill  (straw man
argument)

The claims related to the expected effect belief on the part of the
writer.

Here's a "pro" (as opposed to student) news article w/ which one my
compare.

bc, who has much more to write, no surprise, but will hold his tongue,
for the time being.
