I’d rather do a bad job of retconning a classroom into a place to teach political and media literacy, than have no such place in these children’s lives.

What are you basing your opinion on? Are you looking at outcomes or are you just using “common sense”? Don’t you know people who didn’t go to school and yet are happy people?
