This is a truth that school librarians know well! Remember your school librarian is there to help collaborate, support your curriculum, and extend your literacy instruction in explicit and meaningful ways like those mentioned in the @edutopia.org article below ⬇️

Teen distrust of journalism is rising β€” media literacy may be the industry’s best defense - Editor and Publisher When the News Literacy Project surveyed American teens last fall, the results were sobering: 84% described news media as β€œbiased,” β€œboring” or β€œbad.” In her latest report for E&P, Diane Sylvester unpa...

β€œOne positive finding is that 94% of teens said news or media literacy should be part of their education. They know they need this training.”

Congress Has Passed an Education Budget. See How Key Programs Are Affected Federal funding for low-income students and special education will remain level year over year.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has been funded for Fiscal Year 2026.

This is in direct contrast to Trump's proposal to sunset the agency.

The future of the agency–currently a propaganda arm of the regime–remains a question with the lawsuits.

If I Agree With It, It’s Real. If I Don’t, It Must Be AI. How AI accusations are replacing evidence, and why librarians and educators must push back

β€œIf I agree with it, it’s real. If I don’t, it must be AI.”

That shortcut is replacing evidence. This edition is about why it’s happening and why literacy has to stay focused on reasoning, not detection. #TLSky #EduSky

*looks like* …

A thought solidified…
