“The Internet can be an invaluable resource for students at every grade level, but it can also be rife with misinterpretations, lies, and rumors that can be confusing or even dangerous,” said state Sen. Michael Testa, R-Cumberland, a main sponsor. “The new standards will help develop young residents who can recognize false claims and have the skills to succeed in a web-driven world.”
Olga Polites, the New Jersey chapter leader of Media Literacy Now, said schools should teach students “critical thinking skills to combat the disinformation that comes across social media feeds and electronic devices.” “Unless we can do it in our K-12 school system, we are doomed,” Polites told NJ Advance Media. “Our democracy is not going to be able to sustain itself.”“I love my Twitter, but I love my Philadelphia Inquirer more,” Polites said. “That’s the difference. There are so many people that conflate the two. Because it comes over an electronic device, they give it credibility. But if we can get this into K-12 schools, we will be on our way to solving this incredibly huge problem.
in September that while New Jersey provides computer devices for students to learn, it doesn’t teach them how to “safely use those devices.” “That is what you are doing when you are giving computer devices to students and telling them to figure it out and just Google it,” Moyer Stubbs said during an Assembly committee hearing on the legislation.
Another useless standard and another useless regulation being developed.

Oh good! No one is better at teaching you how to think than government! And Gov Murphy has particular talents in this area! The teachers union president also has this “special intellect” as well! NJ residents are so lucky that they even even comprehend it!
FFS! The Democrat run department of education will be teaching them 🙄 sounds fair already. They are doing an outstanding job with their Sex Ed curriculum I'm sure they will excel at this too 🙄 homeschool
Yeah it's don't listen to democrats
But it's not a lie, if you believe it.
This program should be made available to adults as well!
We're no longer teaching children how to think critically for themselves, we will simply start telling them what to think as early as possible, with the Democrat-run Department of Education determining what is fact and what is fiction. What could possibly be wrong with that.
We all know how this will work Democrats are fact Republicans are fiction
Do your research
It's called research. They should have been teaching that long ago.
