The newest Democratic propaganda in schools: ‘Fake news’ classes

The Democratic Party’s panic over losing control of narratives in schools has led it to pursue a new path to propagandize to children: mandatory “media literacy” classes to teach students about “fake news.”
Media literacy lessons are now mandatory in California in English, science, history, and even math classes throughout every grade level, thanks to a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) last month. Delaware, Illinois, and New Jersey are also among the states requiring these lessons. Among other things, the California law worries about the effects of “online misinformation” that has “threatened public health.”

You can guess how easily such lessons can, and will, be abused. California is the same state that tried to crack down on doctors who contradict “contemporary scientific consensus,” a consensus that was routinely wrong during the COVID-19 pandemic. What do we think California’s “fake news” lessons will have to say about climate change, for example? Or about abortion, another area where California has tried to mislead people while trying to force Democratic-approved narratives on pro-life crisis pregnancy centers?
There is no reason for California law to require schools to teach students how to “critically consume” social media, especially when that means using time that should be going to teaching math or English. This is yet another example of California Democrats inserting their agenda into schools (that are among the worst in the country) in order to set narratives, not to teach the students whom those schools are already failing.
