Keynote Details

What Truth Are You In? Teaching Discernment in a Misinformation Age
Overview

Students are not failing because they are unintelligent.

They are overwhelmed.


This keynote reframes misinformation not as a moral failure, but as a breakdown in discernment — and shows educators how to rebuild that skill without shaming, silencing, or relativizing truth.

  • Students collapsing opinion, feeling, and fact

  • Educators exhausted by “everything is relative”

  • Institutions caught between outrage and silence
