Surprising turnaround from NYT, which now admits “equity” policies hurt student learning @nytdavidbrooks: “Equity is supposed to increase equity. But lowering rigor produces more inequality” “When it comes to education policy, Republicans are now kicking Democrats in the butt”
🧵I disagree w/the NYT framing that Republicans and Democrats have equally given up on student learning At the state level, red states are tackling student achievement; blue states are struggling b/c “equity” Compare the recent policy decisions in red and blue states:
