What is "fake news"? Why do officials want students to learn to recognize it? How do officials plan to help students do this?

Fakes news is any type of news that is false or incorrect. Officials are trying to teach students about fake news because fake news is everywhere. It is influencing what students do. When they see something on social media they might share it, and it will spread. It even may show them something violent or inappropriate. Officials are doing multiple things to help students, such as seminars in school, assemblies in school, etc.
