There are times when we see public opinion or the tone of media coverage shifting noticeably. I blogged about such a shift earlier today, when I posted about a Los Angeles Times article that focused on how a Parent Trigger campaign is ripping a disadvantage school community apart. That focus marked a significant shift from the overwhelming positive, unquestioning news coverage the Parent Trigger has received in the past. This kind of shift is described by a concept in politics called the Overton Window, which I learned about from my son, a college poli-sci student.
The Overton Window concept comes from the right, though it’s not inherently partisan.
