      Judge Uses D&D’s Failure To Make Him Worship Satan, To School Teach Florida On About Social Media Moral Panics.

      I think that’s what they’re trying to say

      That title is definitely difficult to understand lol

      The Judge used the fact that he played D&D in the 80s when it was ‘well known’ that D&D would make you a satanist- which is obviously ridiculous- to refute that it’s ‘well known’ that kids are addicted to social media today.

      MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —

      THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.

      It took me more than that, but I finally decoded it: change ‘school’ to ‘educate’ to make it parse more easily.
