Pushing back against the surge of misinformation online, California will now require all K-12 students to learn media literacy skills — such as recognizing fake news and thinking critically about what they encounter on the internet.
Gov. Gavin Newsom last month signed Assembly Bill 873, which requires the state to add media literacy to curriculum frameworks for English language arts, science, math and history-social studies, rolling out gradually beginning next year. Instead of a stand-alone class, the topic will be woven into existing classes and lessons throughout the school year.
I knew it was bad, but Jesus Christ that’s very bad

What did they consider a national news outlet? There are some that pretend to be news but really aren’t. If included, I’m not sure how useful the survey is. Picking the “right” choice could still mean they get bad info.
I’m 40 and can say that describes me. But I’d also say that’s talking shit unless you really understand the truth and you throw in “never” behind “believe” and discard any care about where any of it comes from.
