    Social media goes against their educational programming. They want misinformed youth entering the workforce, can’t have any of the “leftist” social media contradicting their narrative.

      If you’re relying on social media for your information, I think it’s likely that you’re already misinformed.

      What and who’s narrative? This sounds awfully “conspiracy”-ish. Please explain.

        Reducing child labor laws, banning books, banning abortion, banning LGBTQIA+ related-activities and banning gender-affirming care…it’s clear they have a certain direction they want to take today’s youth. I expect that FL is leading towards a religion-based upbringing for the youth in their state.
