Most Democrats Oppose Parents Choosing If Kids Should Learn LGBT Issues In Class

In April of 2022, a poll by Public Opinion Strategies found that 55% of Democratic voters supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ‘parental rights bill that banned teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade.

Two years later, a new poll from Pew Research says most Democrats don’t believe parents should have the final say if their children should not take school courses dealing with LGBT issues.

Fifty-one percent of Democrats said the schools, not students’ parents, should be in charge of this issue, while 54% of respondents said parents should be allowed to remove children from lessons on “sexual orientation or gender identity” if the ways these lessons are taught conflicts with their personal views. Among Republicans, 79% of GOP voters supported parental rights on this issue, with 32% of Democrats saying the same thing.
