After Dems Get Pounded, New York Times Attacks GOP For Focusing On Parental Rights In Public Schools
On Wednesday, The New York Times, in another desperate attempt to slam conservative voters and conservative media, argued that the GOP’s strong showing on Tuesday night came from its efforts to “galvanize crucial groups of voters around what the party calls ‘parental rights’ issues in public schools, a hodgepodge of conservative causes.”
The Times attacked Virginia governor-elect Glenn Youngkin, saying he “stoked the resentment and fear of some white voters, who were alarmed by efforts to teach a more critical history of racism in America.”

Many historians have questioned its accuracy and its attempt to undermine the salutary and historic effects of the American founding. Among them are Pulitzer-Prize winning author James McPherson, professor emeritus of history at Princeton University, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Battle Cry of Freedom,” widely regarded as the authoritative account of the Civil War. He stated: “I was disturbed by what seemed like a very unbalanced, one-sided account, which lacked context and perspective on the complexity of slavery, which was clearly, obviously, not an exclusively American institution, but existed throughout history.”
Responding to Hannah-Jones’ statement in her essay that “anti-black racism runs in the very DNA of this country,” MacPherson has said “the idea that racism is a permanent condition, well that’s just not true. And it also doesn’t account for the countervailing tendencies in American history as well. Because opposition to slavery, and opposition to racism, has also been an
