  1. PS: I was reminded when I came home that the *first* movie my son is watching in his Grade 11 - History through Film class this week is: Schindler's List.

    He's had modules about the Holocaust and other genocides through K-12 as did my 19yr old daughter. She actually took an entire elective in HS about genocides.

    But tell us again how "18-32yr olds don't know what the Holocaust is".🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

    Someone is reading the lobbyist talking points a little too exactly... critical thinking cap required.

  2. NEW: Political disinformation is no longer just the province of malign actors like Russia trying to sway a presidential election or determine control of Congress. Even small-bore contests, like this SF Bay Area school board race, show the problem's spread
