If things were even close to normal, a president giving so much power to a completely unqualified close relative--let alone a potentially compromised liar-- would be a monumental scandal.

Are courses about media manipulation common at universities? How and when should this curriculum be introduced to children. Going forward, we have to arm our children with the ability to discern fact from fiction - as many adults just don’t have this skill set.

Many universities have media studies departments. The places I've worked (Iowa, Illinois) are quite good at it. And we bring media literacy up in poli sci (and other depts) too. But many college students don't study it, at least not closely, and many people don't go to college.

Thank you. I’m sorry if I was vague, but I was more concerned with the practicality of introducing the concept in middle school civics classes. I figured college level study would cover how to address the educational deficiency.

Ah, got it. Just reread your original tweet and that makes sense. Sorry for the confusion. I’d like to see kids start learning media literacy at a young age. But it’s an abstract concept, and might be tough for middle schools to teach.
