38% of Republicans Say Taking Kids out of Public Schools Most Effective, 33% Support Taking Control of Local School Boards
(Austin, TX—July 20, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted July 12th thru July 13th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
"Poll after poll shows that parents are exceptionally angry at schools teaching state sponsored racism disguised as ‘Critical Race Theory’, so we wanted to discover what parents believe should be done. A majority feel so strongly about this issue, they either advocate taking over the local school board and reversing this trend, or pulling their kids out of school altogether in favor of private, religious, or homeschool,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action." “Republicans are even more intense about taking action, and clearly are not going to sit on the sidelines this fall.”
