POLL: 67% of Americans want school choice, including most Democrats
January 18, 2019
By Victor Skinner
 
More Americans of all backgrounds and races are demanding school choice than last year, with more than two-thirds now in support of alternatives to traditional public schools.

A new poll commissioned by The American Federation for Children and conducted by the Democratic polling firm Beck Research shows 67 percent of likely 2020 voters support school choice. The results of the 2019 National School Choice Poll mark a four percent increase over last year, momentum education reform proponents believe should send a message to lawmakers.

“Despite relentless attacks from opponents of educational freedom throughout the past year, school choice support has grown over the past year. Most parents want a different option for their child and are willing to make sacrifices to go to a better school if they had the option,” AFC President John Schilling said.

All these Americans already HAVE "a choice":
They can send their kids to private or parochial schools.

Of course, that costs money.
But if you don't want your kids' minds polluted and indoctrinated by the "public" schools, there's really no other option (other than home-school, perhaps).
