[aisle] Media Literacy Lesson

[Neha Thakkar]

I know!!!!! This was actually sent to me in Feb. My sister in law sent us a
similar thing to boil black pepper or some nonsense and that'll cure
you....she's a U of I grad and a manager at HP...craziness what you'll
believe in a pandemic.

Stay well!
Thanks!
