According to the poll, a full 60 percent of parents with kids under 18 rate their local schools as either good or excellent; just 34 percent rate them either poor or fair.
Yet according to the poll, a full 60 percent of parents with kids under 18 rate their local schools as either good or excellent; just 34 percent rate them either poor or fair. Republicans feel much the same way: 55 percent say their schools are good or excellent while just 33 percent say they’re poor or fair.
Likewise, 38 percent of Americans say parents should have “more” influence over instruction “than they have now” — while a larger share say either “the same as they have now” or less . But while the crossover appeal of a “parents matter” strategy might be limited, there are signs it could help Republicans mobilize their base. For instance, nearly three-quarters of 2020 Donald Trump voters say parents should have more influence over curriculum than they have now. A full 60 percent of Trump voters think it’s “mostly parents” who should determine what’s taught in classrooms. And even more say students and staff shouldn’t have to cover their faces in school during a Delta surge.
Yet Republicans also risk a backlash by pushing too hard. If Americans agree on anything about U.S. schools as a whole, it’s that they have become “too politicized” by "national debates over race, gender and COVID-19.”
