No that’s silly, there’s no guarantee that they could read that.

To the title, that’s always been the case.
“no child left behind” turned into “make it easier until everyone passes” Shit isn’t new. it’s been going on for a long, long ass time.

The less educated a populous is, the less likely they are to think critically, think for themselves, and ultimately the easier they are to control.
It’s getting really bad. Some people even use “populous” when they mean “populace.”
It’s getting so bad that some people even put the period INSIDE the quotation mark at the end of a sentence!
It’s getting so bad that some people can’t distinguish between British and American punctuation conventions.

Your fact check doesn’t say it’s fake. Even the “mostly false” mentioned in the fact check is a bit of a stretch if you read the “what’s true” section.
