Two bills aimed at equipping K-12 students with the ability to discern between accurate and false news -- and teach them media literacy, more broadly – are currently progressing through the California Legislature. Assembly Bill (AB) 873, authored by Assemblymember Marc Berman (D-Menlo Park), and AB 787 by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Woodland) would mandate that schools in California offer instruction at every grade level to promote a more informed and civically engaged society.
