There is a robust conversation already about supporting students digital literacy abilities.
This is good & necessary & (from what I can see) happening.
I would offer that there is an equally compelling case for the need to practice perspective taking.
I wish this was more supported.

I am vaccinated. I also value herd immunity, so get your shots, please!
“Vaccines are not just for disease prevention, but it’s also to prevent you from getting a severe form of the disease (if you get infected) that sends you to the hospital or worse. Flu every year and Covid every year still cause significant mortality in the country.”
