Establishes the Media Literacy and Critical Thinking Act

Summary

The bill would have the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education run a two‑year pilot program in 5‑7 diverse school districts to integrate media‑literacy and critical‑thinking skills into daily curricula from preschool through grade 12. It defines media literacy, sets out required instructional components, and mandates reports that would form the basis for statewide standards. The measure was withdrawn and is not currently advancing.
