There were a bunch of articles when the data came out from the NAEP report card. Most I saw were mentioning phonics as the biggest factor.

It's often being referred to as the "Mississippi Miracle" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Miracle
I mean, both of those are right wing sources though.
I thought the second one might be (unfamiliar with it, it was just in the search results), but NYT is definitely not right wing, and the NAEP and Wikipedia are fairly neutral.
NYT has proven in the past few years its a trash rag propping up shitty right wing policies. See also the Washington Post.
Are you confusing NYT with the New York Post? I certainly see lots of headlines and articles critical of Trump in the NYT.
I am talking about issues beyond Trump, especially around Israel/Palestine and LGBTQ+ issues.
