5. NYT is Playing Games. Maybe Only With Itself. But....

But they've known... or ought to have known... that there was widespread, thoughtful, reasoned, persuasive opposition among teachers, parents , unions and academics since CCSS' inception.

The header reminds me of another infamous NYT doozie:

>>>An illustration of that racial attitude is found in a headline in The New York Times in 1901 that read, “Chinese Shoot Straight.” This story revealed that, contrary to popular belief, Chinese soldiers actually had enough intelligence to align the sights of a rifle well enough to shoot straight on the battlefield. The existence of this level of intelligence in East Asians was such a surprise to western newspaper readers that it became headline news.>>>>>

Pretending that opposition to the core came only or even primarily from the fringe right was just that: pretense. And part of the pitch.
