Poll Shows Teaching Racial, Sexual Curricula in Schools Dividing Americans along Party Lines

According to a new poll, Americans are divided along party lines on the question of whether or not to actively teach about race and sexuality in public schools.

The Associated Press reports that the poll by the University of Chicago, AP, and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research asked two questions of respondents: Do parents have too little, too much, or about the right amount of influence over what their children learn, and do teachers have too little, too much, or about the right amount of influence in the same area?

On the question of parents, 50 percent of respondents think they have too little input, while 27 percent said they currently have the right amount, and another 20 percent said they have too much. When it comes to teachers, a narrow majority of 51 percent say teachers have too little say, while 34 percent say they have the right amount and 13 percent say they have too much.
