Democracy would have keeled over on Thursday if the Washington Post’s slogan was taken literally.
The Biden administration admitted it made an error on Wednesday when its guidance for school reopening promoted a radical activist group’s handbook that advocates for educators to “disrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression,” but anyone who relies on the Washington Post, whose mantra is “Democracy Dies In Darkness,” or New York Times (“All The News That’s Fit to Print”) for news wouldn’t have any idea.
Both liberal papers ignored the bombshell story that resulted in the Biden administration admitting a gaffe.
Fox News first published a story highlighting the Abolitionist Teaching Network’s inclusion in a Department of Education handbook intended to help public schools reopen after the COVID-19 pandemic and spend funding received through the American Rescue Plan. The article also showcased radical rhetoric the network and its board members pushed that fall in line with critical race theory teachings.
Hours later, the Biden administration said it was an error to promote a radical group.
