"National Survey Reveals Divide on Teaching Race and LGBTQ Issues in Schools"
TL;DR Summary
A Pew Research Center study surveyed public K-12 teachers, teens, and the American public to understand their perspectives on race, sexual orientation, and gender identity in schools. The report reveals that teachers feel debates on these topics have negatively impacted their ability to teach, with 71% believing they lack influence over the curriculum. While most teachers think students should learn about the ongoing impact of slavery, opinions on teaching gender identity vary. Additionally, the study shows that teachers' views on these issues differ based on political affiliation, with Democratic teachers more supportive of inclusive education.
