Educator and artist Moholy-Nagy wrote in 1936 when fascism was taking over Germany: “The illiterates of the future will be ignorant of the use of camera and pen alike." Today, the "illiterate" of the future will be those who cannot distinguish truth from fiction - in words and images. As more and more young people have their eyes on social media, the schools must teach media literacy.

What narcissistic, self serving crap. Every fact the Left hates is "debunked" by their "experts". Every source you like is a god-given authority, when in point of fact, you people believe the most baseless, laughable nonsense.

Excellent article about the importance of helping students learn media literacy. The educator and artist Moholy-Nagy wrote in 1936, as Fascism was taking hold in

Germany where he lived and worked: “The illiterates of the future will be ignorant of the use of camera and pen alike." Today, we need to understand the danger of social media and online news that have no basis in truth. The i"lliterates" of the future will be those who cannot distinguish between fact and fiction and, as Cohen says, it is in high school these skills must be taught.
