I agree. I would argue that headlines are passed around almost as easily as memes, though often without the humor element.

One reason people get radicalized online is that meme culture can quickly reduce issues to a punchline or a call to arms. And by circulating entirely online, with no checks on factuality or origin, memes and the joking around them can convey messages and provoke reactions with none of the back-and-forth that happens in person, let alone the learning acquired through research or deep study.

Something that is not talked about enough.

Wouldn’t that be double jeopardy? Or no because he wasn’t tried? Genuine question… I don’t know a lot of the details.

I’m interested to know if the number of students taking the test has remained the same. If that number is dropping, it may skew the scores and tell a different tale.

Thanks for clarifying, I didn’t understand that in the article.
