The segment where we give you a news story from the week that's gone viral and you have to see if you can tell whether it's a fake news story or a real one.

That was real.

Yeah.

Here's your first headline for real news or fake news.

Elementary school bans 98% of school library after AI determines them offensive.

A private elementary school in Ohio has removed nearly every book from its library after a newly installed AI content moderation bot flagged them as potentially unacceptable.

The principal of the school actually defended the sweeping removals, saying, we simply can't risk exposing our third graders to complex concepts like frogs changing form or penguins raising chicks together.

The bot was very clear.

The first book that was flagged by this AI was apparently The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which the AI labeled as insect propaganda promoting radical body transformation without parental consent.

Yeah, it's a lot of fat shaming.

Oh.

Shortly after, Charlotte's web was removed from the library for normalizing interspecies emotional bonds.

Oh, that's messed up.

And the entire science section was pulled after the AI bot identified a high frequency of reproductive terminology lacking moral condemnation.

According to the school district's 47-page AI compliance report, the system uses advanced neural pattern recognition to detect animals displaying same-sex behavior, species capable of changing sex, and any mention of the word egg outside of breakfast contacts.

Oh, wow.

That's a lot of the science class.

Who programmed this?

So 98% of the books at this school have now been banned because of this new AI bot.

Some parents actually applaud the move.
