Good topic but can easily go political; with that in mind... As long as the education involves how to discern fact from opinion/hype/spin, it could be a good course for many adults, let alone grades 7-12.
I'm hoping it doesn't go political too. As is no secret, fact checking is my proverbial "Hill to die on". Getting John Q. Public the skillset to critically analyze what he's being told is desperately needed to avoid acting on bad information.
