New Survey Finds Young Americans Want More Parental Control Over Education by 2-To-1 Margin

Young Americans are overwhelmingly in support of more parental control over education, a comprehensive survey released Tuesday reveals.

In a national poll of 18 to 29-year-olds from the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School, 46% of respondents Americans agree with the statement that “parents should have more control over their children’s education than they do now,” while only 23% disagreed.

Republicans were far more in support of the assertion, with 64% agreeing and 14% disagreeing. Meanwhile, 35% of Democrats agreed while 31% disagreed. Independent and unaffiliated young voters also showed a high degree of support for parental rights in education, with 44% agreeing and 20% disagreeing.

The poll therefore shows broad support for the parental rights movement across party lines for young Americans, which has gained steam following the revelation of leftist agendas in many curricula and government schools closing their doors over COVID-19.
