Governor Kathy Hochul today met with State Commissioner of Education Betty A. Rosa and leaders from the State Education Department to discuss the ongoing development of a ‘Media Literacy’ toolkit for educators to help teach students HOW TO SPOT MIS/DIS/MAL-INFORMATION online. Following a surge in online hate speech in November 2023, Governor Hochul directed the State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to work with experts to develop and distribute an ideologically neutral product which gives teachers resources to develop students’ ability to analyze, evaluate, and assess all forms of media, including information delivered through social media.

“The rising tide of hate online is putting all New Yorkers at risk, especially our kids,” Governor Hochul said. “Last year, I directed the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to develop a media literacy toolkit to help our educators teach their students HOW TO SPOT MISINFORMATION, and I look forward to releasing the final product to help keep our kids safe online.”

Safe is euphemism for Big Brother shutdown of free speech.

This feminist obsession with “safety” ultimately harms kids by insulating them from even the slightest discomfort.

Not very good preparation the real world.

She murders little babies and sucks their brains out. To the polyamorous Left they are an inconvenient obstacle to the next orgasm. What bullsh#t to talk about child safety. She’s a serial killer, and an enemy of G-d.

“”Who is going to keep them safe of Hochul and her communists??””

And who is to keep them safe from the zombies and illegal trespassers, from the looters, from every democRAT policy that endangers everyone?

That's so cute. You think she means keeping kids safe. Her actual goal is keeping Leftist politicians safe from factual information getting out. That's what the bill is designed to do. It has nothing to do with children.

Why would any state need a “Division of Homeland Security”?

Internet searches like “Woman, mother, father, weather, conduct of public officials, meat recipes, energy policy, public or personal health, elections, schools, etc....” will be content controlled by the state regulators.

Another reason to Homeschool. Thankfully my granddaughter will be going into private parochial school but even then that’s not safe. Daughter in Law is a parochial school teacher by trade and is staying home with her until she reaches school age.

Such a thing can only be achieved by govt censorship. Of course, that is their goal. Hochul is a criminal. The entire party has been taken over by criminals and any decent people pushed out of leadership.

I directed the Division of Homeland Security...

For online misinformation to kids? Maybe they should be stationed on the Northern border protecting our state instead.
