• Teaching truth in a TikTok world: South Shore Women's Alliance hosts presentation on news literacy (liherald.com) — Jericho families should know that their school district is among several Nassau systems already teaching a structured news literacy program developed through Stony Brook University. A recent South Shore Women’s Alliance event highlighted how these lessons help students, from kindergarten up, question sources, resist misinformation, and become more thoughtful news consumers, and encouraged parents to press other districts to adopt similar curricula.
