In these politically polarizing times, it’s hard to find a solid consensus on just about any issue. But one of those very few issues that almost all thinking Americans who aren’t on the payroll of the teachers’ unions agree on is education choice.
Support for school choice has soared across all demographics, including race and political affiliations, since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to recent polling.
The poll, released Tuesday by RealClear Opinion Research, shows that 71% of registered voters now back school choice, which the data aggregator defines as giving “parents the right to use the tax dollars designated for their child’s education to send their child to the public or private school which best serves their needs.”
