evaluating the internet

The group that made this website is definantly biased against not only Martin Luther King Jr. but African Americans in gerneral. It sounds as if this is a white supremecy group. While it is important for students to learn that not all information on the internet is trustworthy this is not the correct site to show them. The violent and sensitive nature of this material along with the language makes this a very, very, very bad choice to show students that not all material online is trustworthy. This site is ranked as num. four when I looked it up on “google”. This website was ranked so high I believe because they have a .org in their URL which is supposed to make it more reliable imformation, obviously is not always the case. Kids can learn to be less trusting of the internet by looking at less harmful sites or creating their own, with the help of a teacher, that gives the wrong information.
