This would be actively fought against, at least in the United States, as an attempt to indoctrinate kids with "liberal biases".
Which is, if one thinks about it, the real problem at hand: when the political ideology of half a country requires complete and uncritical rejection of...yanno... the things happening in front of one's face, you can't actually fix the thing. People have to agree that it's broken first.
- jointpdf 7y agoFWIW, I went to a public middle school in rural Michigan in the 90s (not exactly a liberal bastion), and we learned how to differentiate between untrustworthy/legitimate sources on the internet. It may have just been a one or two computer lab sessions, but it has stuck with me. So, while I’d support a policy from high that guarantees everyone this type of education, a single computer lab teacher can have a major impact on their own.
