Define media literacy.

Define 'fake news'.

Define 'alternative facts'

Define personal bias

And do it without being led by the nose by identity politicking or 'feelings' over facts.

They did not dictate the implementation of a neutral oversight committee to insure critical thinking skills, they're only adding what the current administration views as a 'requirement for media literacy' without defining what that actually means to them.

Hence my DIRECT comparison to the horse shit everyone went through in the early 00s
