University of Montana's School or Journalism has a class titled "Calling Bullshit":
An online course, Calling Bullshit examines why it’s so easy to spread misinformation and untruths and why it’s so hard to combat it, while exploring what citizens can do to become better consumers and producers of factual information.
For sure an important subject from which many can benefit.

“We had about 20 students in the class because, let’s face it, the title [News Literacy] was boring,” Banville said. “Calling it B.S., we had 40 students this summer and 102 are enrolled this fall.”
