Establishes the Media Literacy and Critical Thinking Act

Summary

The bill directs the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to run a two‑year pilot program in 5‑7 diverse school districts, integrating media‑literacy skills—such as analyzing news, visual content, and digital safety—into daily curricula from preschool through grade 12. It also requires the department to develop guidelines, compile reports, and draft statewide standards, but the measure did not pass.
