Isn’t that called critical thinking?

Which is, by the way, exactly the skill Common Core aims to deprive today’s students of.

This is indoctrination by stealth, methinks.

Should start by warning them about the worms at the Asspress.

Yet these are the same “educators” who are pushing political correctness, groupthink, and issues such as homosexuality and transsexual matters and global warming as “FACT”, not to be discussed, debated, dissected, etc.

These same “educators” push liberalism and accepting liberalism on faith, rather than pushing critical thinking.

So how the heck can they now be intellectually honest, in pushing critical analysis of the news and current events?

Media literacy.
Uh, ‘twould appear that this is asking for literacy about an entity that has proven beyond doubt that the entity itself raises questions about its own literacy.

Hmmm, did I say that correctly?

Translation: Why be literate about something that has demonstrated profound untrustworthyness?

They should teach the English language first! Many “graduates” are incapable of reading or writing it and can communicate only in one syllable grunts.

Lawmakers in several states have introduced or passed bills calling on public school systems to do more to teach media literacy skills that they say are critical to democracy.

Does this mean discussing the horrors of Communism and the existence of fifth column traitors in America despite 50 years of denials from the Left?

Horrible idea. Students will be taught to only trust NY Slimes, Wash Compost, pMSNBC, and HuffCompost. Groupthink en vogue

Teaching them math and science would be better - if we want a society that can think for ourselves. Simply understanding statistics and how science should be done would be a huge improvement. Throw in some education on economics and civics/government (with historic examples) and students could identify bias/facts/lies pretty well. Add some accurate classes on journalism theory (and history) and students would laugh at what is currently called “news”.

The left wants (needs) to tell students what to believe rather than prepare them to decide for themselves based evidence (unfortunately I can’t say “based on facts” since the left has made “facts” mean as little as the word “racism”).

This will go nowhere.

NOTHING could be more dangerous to the Deep State than teaching kids to think.

media literacy would include Cronkit was a fraud, CNN has multiple fake stories in the years, NBC pickup flares used to fake news, 60 minutes fakery, msnbc lying, megan tablidism, homsexuals pushing a narrative on air news stories, omission of stories on and on....

We had a unit on that subject when I was in 8th grade, back in 1968. It was in English class.

The teacher (who may have been a conservative) taught us how to read a newspaper and how to spot propaganda. I remember she taught us five types of propaganda.

These days there are seven types identified, but they include the five she taught:

When I look these terms up today, I find two more have been added: Plain Folks, and Testimonial. But the original five are still there.

I wish I could remember her name. She was kind to me personally in several significant ways; one I remember is that she took me aside after class to praise me for having correctly used the word esoteric during a class discussion.

Media literacy aka Liberal brainwashing

Or, how to believe CNN on everything while you learn everything on FOX is a lie.

Schools will teach that conservativism is false and liberalism is true.
