Hawaii SB772 empowers school complexes to incorporate media literacy into curriculum to combat misinformation and online hate speech.

Hawaii SB772 amends the public education system to allow school complexes to integrate media literacy into the standards-based curriculum. This includes content that addresses the negative impacts of misinformation, disinformation, digital discrimination, and online hate speech. The curriculum must be specific, consistent, aligned, and implemented across all grade levels. School complexes can develop K-12 standards-based material in core content areas such as language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
