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
Guessing they tried to use the more colloquial "to school on," but accidentally created a garden path sentence.
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's like all the words are there, they're just assembled in the wrong order
