Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : By pointing the finger at K-12 education, conservatives avoid the cause of their own unpopularity -- a free market, serve-the-rich political project.
53% : And at the NEA's Representative Assembly this summer, delegates affirmed the union's support for racial justice teaching and indicated that the NEA will "Join with Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project to call for a rally this year on October 14 -- George Floyd's birthday -- as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression."
43% : The penalties for violating these teaching bans range from fines levied against individual teachers and revocation of their teaching licenses, to withholding state funding and rescinding accreditation of school districts, to the threat of lawsuits by parents.
