Congratulations New Jersey, the first State to require information literacy courses K-12.

Teaching critical thinking to our kids, great idea. The Trump voters could have used courses like this when they were growing up, that's for sure.

When I watched Trump voters storming the Capital, chanting 1776 while carrying Confederate Flags, over a childlike lie. I knew something in our education system had broken down.

I can still remember when I was a little kid my parents telling me, don't believe everything you hear, read. Check it out, make sure it's true before you believe it. Ask us or your teachers. Now that I'm older I go to multiple sources to verify something. Trump voters do not do that. They read something and believe it. They are done thinking. They do not check it out, verify it.

The internet made things much worse for people who do not check things out. they went off the deep end.
