Where do you go first to get your news? In the wake of any breaking news event, individuals often rush to social media for minute-by-minute updates. However, these sites are often a center for misinformation, including in Charlottesville. Take the acrimonious departure of former University President Jim Ryan, and the ensuing social media firestorm, where individuals made outlandish claims, such as labelling Ryan as a supporter of “Marxism [and] a Pagan Muslim Apologist.” These claims are not only false, but dangerous in how they can polarize individuals off of false premises. As our lives become increasingly digital, students must understand the inherent dangers of misinformation in the social media ecosystem, along with its downstream consequences, such as increased partisanship and a decrease in trust among communities.

After months of legal limbo, federal funds previously withheld by the Trump administration, including more than $1 million for Charlottesville and Albemarle County schools, have started to flow back into Charlottesville. In addition to public school funds, funding decisions for adult education, adult literacy and English acquisition programs were also reversed. Yet, regardless of the final status of the funds, the fragility generated by the lurching nature of these decisions only serves to further degrade Charlottesville’s educational institutions by forcing them to plan for a scenario in which the money never arrives.
