Skrmetti, which is not the same as striking down Tennessee's age-verification law; TikTok agrees to a $400 million COPPA settlement that ends the case without any finding of guilt; a national survey finds 70% of teens use AI for schoolwork while only 27% were ever taught to use it safely; and a subpoena over leaked game footage reaches every account that posted in three Discord servers. Debate- and career-ready. IN THIS EPISODE
A reusable 9–12 worksheet and a copy-your-own Google Form. Same template every week, so students learn the routine once.
