6) But people really have mixed views about how schools should handle parents' disagreements about teaching potentially contentious issues.

5) There is pretty strong agreement about what are reasonable responses for a parent when they disagree with the content of a lesson, and a big spread across options. The biggest split is on asking the teacher to change the lesson.

4) There is strong agreement on the most important purposes of education, with teaching kids content being #1. The item with the largest partisan divide was "teaching children the importance of embracing differences," which Republicans are majority opposed to.

3) When put head to head, Americans strongly support spending money to improve local public schools as opposed to giving money to low-income families to go to private schools (the levels of support here surprised me!).

2) Partisan disagreement is slightly less on race-related scenarios, but still there are large partisan gaps, especially on items emphasizing CURRENT-DAY inequalities. Republicans are more comfortable with discussing racism in the past than the present.

1) Colossal partisan gaps on LGBTQ-related scenarios in schools. Democrats support every single scenario at the high school level, and Republicans oppose every single scenario that specifically mentions LGBTQ issues. The largest gaps are for trans-related scenarios.

They're everywhere! We have some new survey data from parents that finds that they, too, aren't so concerned.

I could show you a picture of my kitchen, I have very close to zero counter space. Stores in a cabinet, latches on to any stock pot. If you have an outlet near a stove you could even set it on there to use. I have the ANOVA Precision.

Yeah! As small kitchen appliances go, it's great. Really not very large, extremely easy to use.
