在2024年共和党总统初选辩论之前, 美国国家教育协会今天公布的最新民调显示,共和党候选人在教育优先事项上与家长和选民脱节. 

“明天晚上,2024年共和党候选人将首次展开辩论, 菠菜导航网希望他们在以禁书为中心的极端议程上加倍努力, censoring history, 通过代金券将公立学校的资源转移到不负责任和歧视的私立学校, and taking away learning opportunities for students. 为了让像贝琪·德沃斯这样的亿万富翁捐助者高兴, 这些共和党候选人继续忽视家长和选民在教育问题上最关心的问题. That is why so many of the right-wing, 所谓的“文化战争”候选人在投票中不断失败,全国教育协会主席贝基·普林格尔说. “Across America, 菠菜导航网大多数人都想要同样的东西——强大的公立学校,让所有的学生, no matter their race, ZIP code, or background, 是否有足够的资源和机会让自己发挥出最大的潜能. In every community across the nation – rural, urban, 和郊区一样,家长和教育工作者正在合作帮助学生茁壮成长."

Key findings from the poll, which was conducted GBAO Strategies, include: 

  • 缺乏资金、教师工资和校园枪击案是选民对教育最关心的问题.
  • When given a list, voters rank pandemic learning recovery, lack of school funding, lack of technical training, insufficient mental health support, 以及教育工作者短缺是K-12公立教育面临的最严重问题.
  • 特别是在历史和课程问题上,选民们关心的是禁令和限制像教师“培养”学生或推动LGBTQ+议程这样的文化战争问题落在了列表的末尾... 保守的共和党人优先考虑这些问题, 而温和派共和党人则关注更广泛的话题.  
  • 独立人士最关心的是大流行带来的学习损失, the lack of funding for basic needs, insufficient mental health support, and the lack of instruction on practical/technical skills. 
  • Among parents, 最令人担忧的问题包括心理健康支持不足, inadequate instruction on practical/technical skills, the lack of funding for the basics, and pandemic learning loss. 
  • 不分党派的选民都对公立学校和教师持积极态度.超过70%的选民(包括父母和非父母)对公立学校的老师有好感, 自去年以来,选民对公立学校和教师的看法有所改善. 不分党派,公立学校的教师都得到了积极的评价, with Independents 70 percent favorable and 13 percent unfavorable; and Republicans 60 percent favorable and 16 percent unfavorable.

这些结果突出表明,在最近的大选中, 家长和选民明确拒绝了与2024年共和党总统候选人相同议程的极端主义政客.  

In the 2022 midterm elections, 支持公共教育的候选人几乎在每一次竞争激烈的州长竞选中获胜, 71% of the school board races, and many other key offices up and down the ballot. So far in 2023, 在最近的学校董事会选举中,文化战争的候选人继续辜负选民的期望, as pro-public education candidates continue winning. Some examples from 2023 school board elections include:

  • In Montana, 81% of pro-public education candidates won.
  • In Illinois, 90% of pro-public education candidates won. 
  • In Missouri, 80% of pro-public education candidates won. 
  • In New York, 85% of pro-public education candidates won.
  • 在威斯康辛州,支持公共教育的候选人同样赢得了绝大多数选举,包括 这场竞选是由威斯康星州共和党主席召集的"the most important school board race."
  • In Oregon, The Oregonian 报道称“俄勒冈州学校董事会的‘文化战争’候选人大多失败了”
  • In Lincoln, Neb.在美国,三名支持公共教育的候选人都赢得了选举. 

“Elections matter. And in election after election, 选民们继续拒绝按照几乎所有2024年共和党候选人在竞选活动中都以同样议程为核心的候选人. So, tomorrow night on the debate stage, 人们不得不问:候选人是否会在他们极端和脱离实际的议程上加倍下注? 或者他们最终会开始倾听家长和选民的意见吗?” Pringle added.
