I did a search on the woman who did this study. Lots of msm hits on it being 'fact checked' as flawed and misleading. John Hopkins even removed the piece because it was being used by conspiracy theorists on social media to present inaccurate information. They don't offer a scientific rebuttal or define what & how info is misleading.
Here is the editorial from the newsletter addressing the retraction. (the first few comments are gold...and then comes the loud mouth liberal idiot to ruin any intelligent discourse.)
This is one of the trends I am seeing. They fact checks and force a retraction with vague reasoning with no evidence to prove the study was flawed. The data was collected via the CDC databases, so many flaws in the data would be from the source. Her calculations seemed accurate to me, but i did a cursory check. When nothing jumped out as unreasonable or Common Core math, I assumed that a researcher from John's Hopkins would be pier reviewed and verified. I truly believe that she did her research diligently and in good faith. The factcheckers have an agenda which makes them suspect to me
