NYSUT stresses the importance of Civics and Media Literacy education for students in their March/April magazine.

NYSUT is asking the state Legislature to commit $2.5 million to expand civics education at the elementary level, $5 million to increase access to the Seal of Civic Readiness, and $15 million to enhance media and AI literacy so students have the skills they need to analyze information and judge for themselves what to trust, share, and base decisions on.
