U.K. schools getting rid of analogue clocks because teens "cannot tell time"

Apparently not.

Yes.

The fake story in the OP is from 2018 too.

Agreed, dear. Past tense. Five years ago.

What's False
Schools throughout the UK are not replacing analog clocks with digital versions in all classrooms because modern students cannot tell time.

Ever get the feeling you've been farmed?

True, but all tenses are not. Present and past tense are not equal.

School removing and not removing clocks is not equal too.

As for the UK and Queensland governments being equal, that's wrong too. In fact, I think we can safely say that there's nothing "equal" in this news story at all - nothing equal to the truth, anyway.

It's what we call fiction: a viral fake news beat-up - from 2018.

Some are less equal to others too, no?
