‘Nick’ needs to step up its education

Kudos to Mayor Steve Benjamin and to the Columbia Film Society for its huge success downtown (“Happy anniversary, Nick! Look what we’ve done,” Oct. 23).

As a former member of the Film Society’s board, I urged the group to expand its film exhibition mission to include educating Columbia’s young about media literacy.

So I am pleased to see it has done this. But I would like to see it expand it even further — to include elementary students who are digital natives who need help questioning media messages in all its forms.
