  • OK but could be better

    Iowa Press has a good assortment of political content but should be better on some clarity & fact checking. They recently (11/19/21) discussed 2022 elections, school superintendent elections & how CRT is taught in grade schools, failing to mention CRT is a college-level education & it’s more a racial education ideology that is being debated. This journalistic failure is seen across the media right now. Iowa Press should strive to do better.
