To be clear, I do think the most likely scenario is that the shooter was a whack job who shouldn’t have had a gun and politics are likely murky

But if there were a conspiracy of some sort, I don’t think it would be a grand X-Files like undertaking — it would be something really freaking stupid like faking an anti-ICE message by writing “anti-ICE” on a bullet 🙃

"With the proliferation and popularisation of conspiracy theories on the rise throughout the world it is inevitable that educators will encounter them in the classroom. Here I recount one such encounter I had as a graduate student, explain how I handled it incorrectly, and provide some thoughts on how we all can respond better."

As a teacher, I wish I’d handled the conspiracy theorist in my class differently

How should teachers handle students who begin to bring their conspiracy theories to class? By treating them like any other student in distress, and offering a lifeline
