This is a terrible idea. A lot of people are failing to realize that this is a bad precedent.

Even though the article spends most of the time talking about an example orthogonal to politics, it is clear that politics will be the main topic of this course. I have zero faith in the system to show the numerous examples of bad articles by the NYT, WP, NPR... anybody remembers the Covington kid?

The issue goes beyond self criticism of course. The state should not play a role in telling kids what they should or shouldn't read as a news source - because that's what will end up happen. I have zero faith that such class will actually engage in fruitful debates.

For those like me who had to jog their memory about the Covington kid:

where in gods name are you getting 'the state is playing a role in telling kids what they should and shouldn't use as a news source'

The bill, the classroom experience, the examples are all about tools and heuristics to evaluate ANY news source.

Strawman argument...
