Emphasize media literacy in legislative goals for education
This bill amends Montana's state education goals to explicitly include media literacy as a priority for public elementary and secondary schools. It requires schools to work with parents to teach students skills for accessing, analyzing, evaluating, creating, and acting using various forms of communication. The legislation also aims to reduce students' vulnerability to disinformation, misinformation, propaganda, and indoctrination. By adding this as a formal legislative goal, the bill ensures media literacy becomes a standard part of the state's educational framework alongside other existing goals like financial literacy and critical thinking.
