As a retired teacher, I can tell you that it has been in our curriculum in the US for decades to teach how to recognize propaganda and think critically, but children learn more from their parents than they do from a 40 minute lesson.
I live in a blue state and my kids are in a blue school district; reliable sources, internet safety/misinformation, and critical thinking are part of the curriculum starting in middle school. Red states are hanging up the Ten Commandments.
In the early 80s that type of class was required as a freshman in high school. When I took it it was called Mass Media. The Reagan administration destroyed Truth in Advertising and those types of classes
European countries have recognized they have been under attack from an information war for many years. Unfortunately North America was naive to these activities and the impact on their population. @ninajankowicz.com tried to enlighten America but MAGA made sure the truth was once again muddled.
