4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The article doesn't live up to the headline. Yes, they've become hotbeds for anger and chaos, but how? What's getting these people so riled up about these perceived issues that they're disrupting school board meetings and attacking board members and other parents?
Political Action Groups hire people as agents through churches. Then those agents cause trouble. Moms for Liberty is a great example. They get people who don’t even have kids to help.
Sign up for a shitty Florida church then attend their sermons online. You’ll hear some symbolic bs or code they use to get people to unwittingly join them. Maybe you will even get lucky and hear the church chant out a reportable crime.
But yea, corporations do it too.
Online propaganda. In one of the world news communities yesterday, there was a post about the UK forcing teachers to disclose to parents if their child mentions anything about gender identity in schools. Several users went off on rants about how schools indoctrinate children and blah blah blah and this is the same garbage mindset that they bring to their local school board meetings. We've got too many dumb people with strong opinions roaming around now.
Was 60 or was it 90 incidents?!?!?
Sounds like they looked at 90 incidents which produced 59 arrests
