The second-largest teachers union in the United States will make available to millions of public school students a “news media literacy” tool that critics say has a significant left-wing bias.

In a partnership announced this week, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) said it will purchase licensed copies of NewsGuard’s “anti-misinformation” browser extension for the union’s 1.7 million members, who will then be able to share it with the tens of millions of students they serve.
