I can understand why in a middle school you might not want to show this
to your students. I teach at a high school and I use this site to
demonstrate to our students that you can't believe everything you read. On
the site, they quote a passage from Newsweek that actually is legit but they
go on to make up the next section. By pointing this out to my students, I
hope I am helping them to understand that they can't believe everything that
they read.
