It's interesting to note the ideological slants in Trip Gabriel’s NYT piece about Glenn Youngkin. I know, I know, everyone will say “Duh, Boghossian, obviously.” But it’s useful to look at just two sentences to clarify the bias:

nytimes.com/2021/11/03/us/…

1) "conservatives’ belief that classwork has become overly conscious of racial differences"

2) "Mr. Youngkin’s best known pledge is to ban critical race theory in schools on Day 1, even though that graduate-school thesis about the role of racism in American institutions has little impact on K-12 classrooms, educators say."

Understanding what's driving these interpretations is crucial to understanding why Youngkin won.
