THE NEW YORK TIMES FINALLY ADMITS TO THE HARM DONE TO CHILDREN

The New York Times Finally Admits to the Harm Done to Children  BY JENNIFER SEY NOVEMBER 22, 2023 

The New York Times published an op-ed over the weekend entitled ”The Startling Evidence of Learning Loss Is In.” Here’s the second paragraph:

The evidence is now in, and it is startling. The school closures that took 50 million children out of classrooms at the start of the pandemic may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of American education. It also set student progress in math and reading back by two decades and widened the achievement gap that separates poor and wealthy children.

For anyone who has been paying even a modest amount of attention for the past 3 ½ years, the evidence is anything but startling.

People often ask me, and even more so since this “startling” piece hit the digital airwaves: “Don’t you feel redeemed?”

In fact, it’s hard to describe how angry this “revelatory” piece of writing makes me. More than 3 years too late, the New York Times has now given permission to acknowledge what was obvious from the beginning. But if you dared to say so in 2020, or 2021, or even 2022, you were smeared with all sorts of career-ending ad hominem attacks, including but not limited to: racist, eugenicist, ableist, science-denying alt-right Trumper, flat earther and sometimes Nazi.

MLB FLIP-FLOP EXPOSES OUT OF TOUCH CORPORATE ELITE

November 22, 2023 12:00 AM By: Paul Bedard-------It could be easy to dismiss Major League Baseball’s decision to award the 2025 All-Star Game to Atlanta, Georgia, as run-of-the-mill sports news. But just two years ago, Commissioner Robert Manfred removed the same event from Atlanta because the state’s voting reforms allegedly didn’t align with MLB’s values.

But the successful pressure campaign exerted on MLB, and its repudiation now, should be a lesson for everyone about the co-option of corporate power by an ideological managerial class immune to the requirements of truth and democratic accountability.

In March 2021, the democratically elected Georgia legislature passed the Election Integrity Act that, among other things, banned ballot-harvesting, restricted the use of ballot drop boxes, mandated voter identification for absentee ballots, and expanded early in-person voting opportunities.

President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party responded to these commonsense voting reforms with hysterical fury. Biden called the law “Jim Crow 2.0,” adding that the legislation was designed to accomplish “two insidious things: voter suppression and election subversion.”

Activists from the organized fraud group known as Black Lives Matter demanded that corporations with operations in Georgia abandon the state, and they targeted MLB in particular since the organization had scheduled the All-Star Game and the draft to take place in Atlanta.
