Media literacy is now a required subject in K-12 schools in California, and New York State is set to follow suit. Honestly, I can’t think of a worse idea. While I fully support the need for media literacy, state-mandated courses feel like a recipe for disaster. We dive into why these concepts should be left to parents or other caring adults to teach, rather than imposed by political agendas. With public schools already struggling to teach the basics like reading, writing, and arithmetic, we should focus on getting those right before piling on more.
