New York Times knocked for using 'Republicans pounce' framework on school issue

The New York Times' was mocked by critics Thursday for using the phrase "Republicans pounce" to describe the party's efforts to address issues relating to schools and the rights of parents to be involved in their children's education.

The Times later changed the headline of the article to read, "Republicans seize." 

"After an unexpectedly strong showing on Tuesday night, Republicans are heading into the 2022 midterm elections with what they believe will be a highly effective political strategy capitalizing on the frustrations of suburban parents still reeling from the devastating fallout of pandemic-era schooling," the report said.
