1. the problem is that there is also 5 times the amount of "fake facts"

also in the same phone.

so... first figure out what are real facts versus fake facts THEN go make the world a better place.

[applegrove]

3. Of course. But it a great sentiment. That we all have the power to know

the facts.

[YOHABLO]

5. Education is suppose to make us into ''critical thinkers''.The ability to synthesize fact / fiction

Does anyone on DU think that what you're reading is bullshit? No,we made an educated decision to participate.

11. Many of us have developed techniques to weed out the disinformation and fake facts. It

involves finding sources you can trust, and then triangulating the truth from them.

[IronLionZion]

12. And there are easy ways to verify it with reputable sources

which I do for anything posted on social media that is some words placed on some image. There are fact checking sites online.

14. yes, I know... but so many people don't... so this admonition should have been part of the address

[BigmanPigman]

2. I love him!

FACTS is the future kids.

6. For all the eloquence of graduation speeches

That is something the graduates will remember at every point in their lives.

[trickyguy]

7. He said to "find the facts". That takes work. It also

takes work to find the "fake facts".
So get to work all you graduates and give us the facts.

8. It's really not that difficult

To sort through the bullshit. That’s why there are fact-checking sites.

9. I've said before, the Democratic Party should be making a big push for media literacy education.

Media literacy should be mandatory curriculum in every school.

[murielm99]

10. When I was still teaching

computer classes, I taught media literacy to seventh grade students. I hope some of it worked.

13. GOP is against education in general because it makes people soft and weak

[LisaM]

15. Said every commencement speaker to every graduating class ever (or at least the good ones).

I'm going to remove Trump from that equation because God knows what he would say - or has said - to recent grads, but I think everyone is fired up to make the world a better place when they graduate. Heck, I thought pollution would be solved, and then along came individual packaging.
