Why Troubling News:
This article immediately used very speculative and far-reaching language to generalise an issue that is only fractionally or partially true. For example, "Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports," he said, which, translated into regular English, means "Boys, including 18-year-old seniors, must access girls’ locker rooms and sports, if it agrees with their internal sense of self." This quote, rephrased by Fox News, demonstrates the use of straw manning an original quote and oversimplifying it into more nuanced and also more vague terms to be more eye-catching.
