The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

This would have been a great first reply. Spamming the same 2 paragraphs in quotes to everyone who didn't fully understand the intent in the article makes you come off a bit like a jerk. I do appreciate the legit answer though.

I thought those quoted paragraphs were really clear what the intent was.

Reading comprehension is a dumpster fire in here. Fucking hell, honestly it's abysmal internet wide anymore.

Yeah my friends in teaching in the USA have been claiming that everyone educated post 2004 has varying degrees of significant failures in education. No Child Left Behind gutted many kid’s educations.

Obviously not, with the amount of people questioning you and not getting it. Also, Mississippi is probably one of the first places I'd think of if someone asked me "which states do you think would pass an anti-masturbation law", so the satire has to be really obvious for people to get it, and it kind of isn't here.
