NYT. War on education and teachers' unions

 

The New York Times Magazine ran a cover story that platforms the conservative war on education

 

Instead of unpacking this manufactured attack on public schools, the Times found its villain in teachers and teachers unions

The New York Times Magazine recently dedicated a multipage spread to the conservative war on public education, often legitimizing the political right’s advocacy for school choice vouchers and crusade against obscure concepts like "critical race theory.” 

In doing so, the magazine placed a target on the back of public education advocate and teachers union leader Randi Weingarten, gratuitously framing right-wing attacks on education as an organic result of the political climate, rather than as a manufactured onslaught spurred by conservative media.
