In order to help youngsters become better able to distinguish fact from fiction online, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Mexico, and Washington state have all passed laws requiring media literacy be taught in schools.

“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
