Young people support parent control of education

 Daily Wire:

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.

As The Daily Wire previously reported, homeschooling rates across the United States grew between 5.4% and 11% from March 2020 to September 2020 alone. By the summer of 2021, 5 million American children were receiving their education at home.

However, many progressives still insist that rising support for parental rights is only attributable to conservative activism. “Instead of everybody joining together in America to get us out of the effects of the pandemic,” American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten recently claimed, “these right-wing ideologues are just trying to create fear and anxiety and anger exploiting the fear that parents already have in order to win elections and end public education as we know it.”

The teachers' unions are hurting their own cause by supporting the grooming of kids and attempting to normalize deviant sex to young people.
