The American Federation of Teachers said in a report that social media apps have had a negative effect on classrooms.

The nation’s second-largest teachers union said Thursday it was losing patience with social media apps that it says are contributing to mental health problems and misbehavior in classrooms nationwide, draining time and money from teachers and school systems.

    I’m just saying it’s possible he was 100% serious, like flat earthers and anti-vax. It’s possible to be 100% serious and completely idiotic at the same time

      Okay but it’s 1000x more likely they were making a joke so why are you acting like they being serious was the most likely option?

        I didn’t make any commentary about how likely one or the other is, I just said ‘some people genuinely believe these things’. I don’t know them, I don’t know you, what I do know is that there are people out there that actually believe this stuff and actually send their kids to them all because they had the nerve to answer back.

        You’re right, it’s far more likely they’re a sane person being sarcastic, but Poe’s law is a very real thing. Because some people actually sound like this.
