Seven Lessons Democrats Need to Learn — Fast
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/28/opinion/seven-lessons-democrats-need-to-learn-fast.html David Brooks notes:
“Don’t politicize everything. Education has traditionally been a Democratic strong point. A Washington Post/ABC News poll in 2006 found that voters trusted Democrats over Republicans to do a better job handling education by over 20 points. When the Post/ABC poll asked about the issue last November, the advantage was down to three points. Part of the drop is probably due to the teacher unions’ preference to keep schools closed during the pandemic, part possibly the attacks by some progressives on magnet schools and gifted programs, part the perception that progressives care more about their cultural agenda than actual education. Republicans have certainly politicized education, too, but for some reason it seems to work for them, while it doesn’t for Democrats”.
