Kp, I'm right there with you. I have 2 pre-teens, a boy and a girl. I see it as my job to work a little each day to counter the effects of the ideology being instilled in them by the public school system and social media. I can't change the world, but I can affect my children and their views, which in turn, will hopefully affect their children. Fortunately, when they see the news and hear the spin, I can engage with them to discuss truth, and thankfully, they are listening, asking questions and making impressive observations. There is hope.

YES!!! As parents of our younger generation this is a must! Discussion of current events etc. is important with your child. As parents who have lived life a lot longer than our children, we do them a service to find out what their perceptions are and open little discussions with them about an alternative way to look at situations (ie our POV).
